Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 03/05/2023 9:58 pm I got this half dollar a couple months ago as an upgrade and was looking at it under a hand lense for doubling and I think it is a 1948 D DDO-001. Worth sending in to PCGS for grading and Attribution? I did not take a full obverse and reverse picture but I did take a few pictures of a few of the devices corresponding to the Variety-Vista page: http://www.varietyvista.com/11%20Fr...8DDDR001.htm Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 03/05/2023 11:03 pm It appears to be Machine Doubling and not a doubled die. Caused by the hammer die "bouncing" and plowing the normal design element aside to cause the shelf. Not a mint collectable mint error, not a doubled die, and common especially on larger diameter coins. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Dearborn Moderator United States 96579 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 9:30 pm Looks to be Machine Doubling to me as well. The step like appearance tells the story here. Collecting since 1972.

Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 03/07/2023 07:55 am Thanks everyone! I was just wondering because the doubling is so close to what is listed on the Variety Vista page linked above and I was also looking at doubledie.com on the page for 1948 D half dollars and it also lists very similar doubling that is shifted in the same direction.
