Beachgirl New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 06/18/2021 12:59 am Hi Everyone, I have a 1966 Kennedy half dollar with doubling on some of the letters and numbers. I was wondering if anyone could share their opinion as I am only a newbie to coin collecting. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Altec12 Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 06/18/2021 10:02 am Like the others have said better pics are needed for sure. Just taking a guess though what you are probably seeing is Machine Doubling. Very common on Kennedy halves. Report this Post to the Staff
