My wife and I are new to all of this, and looking through my saved coins. I believe I found a few coins that bay be "double die". Went to 2 different places in the Houston area. Both times forgot to mention I noticed what looks like an eagles wing with one of the streams punched to the left of his nose. Any help or advice would help a lot. Lettering is doubled both sides as well. I feel in good condition also. They both glanced with the naked eye, and said their not worth anything and didn't even consider looking into the microscope. Like I said. We're new to this, and any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! It's not allowing me to upload pictures on here. I'm sure I just can't figure it out.

Sorry. This forum style was so much easier 15 years ago. I'm posting from pictures on my iPhone. Off a digital microscope. No access to a laptop or computer to connect at the moment unfortunately. If it helps any. My email is.

Maybe I can send them that way? I'm tryin to get advice, and the "errors" I see through the microscope are what I've seen online several times. Yet, can't get a second opinion to look further than a glance of the naked eye.

From what I can see with those pics,I see MD. Also, too many photos and please no photos of your scopes screen. Photos of the screen are just not good enough.There are many types of doubling we all need to learn,here is a link for you to study and book mark:https://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles...Doubling.htm

On Variety Vista there are a lot of years that do not have a DDR on the JFK Halves.
http://www.varietyvista.com/12%20Ke...Listings.htm
Just certain years have DDR's on them. But it is very common to find Machine Doubling on the reverses of halves. A doubled die comes from a die that had hub doubling. Machine Doubling is caused post strike by the machine. So Machine Doubling is never a doubled die.
DDO's will show spread on the devices, enlarging them more than the normal sizes of the devices:
