mb560600 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 5:07 pm There's only one DDO of the Bicentennial 1976-D Kennedy half listed on Variety Vista, and this does not match it. This one has doubling not only on the date, but also on LIBERTY. Possible new DDO? Worth sending in for a possible listing? Thanks for taking a look and for your comments.

mb560600 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 5:56 pm For an example of what appears to be doubling on this coin, see the image of L in LIBERTY with arrows added below. The arrow at the top of the L points to notching. At the the bottom bar, another arrow points out a split serif/notching on the upward end curve of the L. There is additional notching on most of the rest of the letters in LIBERTY, as well as on the 1s in 1776 and 1976. Are these not indicative of a doubled die? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95432 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 6:43 pm Well, it is possible, but can you get us another image of that 'L' with different lighting angles? Collecting since 1972.

mb560600 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 9:40 pm Thanks to Dearborn, E&V and Boguss for your responses. Dearborn, per your suggestion, here are two additional images of the doubling of L in LIBERTY. This is a photo taken of the coin from an upside down angle. This is a photo of taken of the coin from a side angle. Opinion Dearborn and others? Sure looks like a possible doubled die to me. Report this Post to the Staff

mb560600 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 12:05 am Thanks for the response, E&V. This may be a newly discovered DDO--on a Kennedy half that's 47 years old! Report this Post to the Staff
mb560600 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 07/15/2023 6:40 pm Great news! Just received confirmation from a Coneca examination that this 1976-D Kennedy half is a DDO. There are no matches on VV or Wexler, so it is apparently new. Any suggestions as to how to proceed with an attribution? Report this Post to the Staff
