jackson12345 Valued Member Canada 71 Posts	Posted 01/30/2023 8:21 pm I have this 1964 Kennedy half dollar with significant doubling of the outer edge letters, especially "Half Dollar". Just windering if this is common and how it should affect value. Uncirculated, high grade. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97511 Posts	Posted 01/30/2023 8:25 pm the 'step like' appearance looks to be Machine Doubling. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Second: Sorry you do not has one of the 3 DDR know here. You has an strong Strike Doubling which it is say more popular MD. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/31/2023 1:30 pm Note on a doubled die, the devices are enlarged, not reduced by Machine Doubling. The spread will be seen as larger devices and sometimes on the centers of the devices. Here are side by sides of what I'm taking about on a different year/mint proof coin: When you see the outside edges of the devices affected, that is one clue for Machine Doubling and if it is towards the closest rim, then that will be die wear. So always look at the centers of the devices, not on the outside edges for a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
