TexasCoinMan14 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/07/2021 8:46 pm Hey coin community, I just started stacking silver and collecting coins about one month ago. When I was coin roll hunting and searching for varieties I found a 1964 Kennedy half dollar that I think is a DDR FS- 801 but I'm not sure and when I tried to look up more info and good images I couldnt make heads or tails of this coin. I have no idea how to tell if this is Machine Doubling or a variety, if I could get some help and answers from some of you more experinced guys or gals i'd appreciate it! thanks :) Report this Post to the Staff

One can use the search bar up on top of the page to search out other photos of Machine Doubling verses actual die doubling. Cool to have you around! Report this Post to the Staff

So as far as Machine Doubling goes that is not considered a varity correct? like not something that would be on PCGS or NGC slabbed coins? If so, is this still something nice to keep in your collection or does it just get stacked with my other %90 silver and go about my day? lol Edited by TexasCoinMan14 11/07/2021 9:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

This would be a stacker coin for me.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 11/07/2021 9:51 pm You are right in saying that Machine Doubling is not considered a variety; it would be just a later die state which started to deteriorate. Cool pics as well, though it would be a good idea to post the full sides of the whole coin in question. Report this Post to the Staff
