Those do look like split serifs on IN. I'm hopeful that you have something here and interested to see what others think.

Huh, this is really interesting. It looks like legitimate doubling to me, but it also looks like multiple squeeze doubling more than any single squeeze doubling I've seen... very peculiar.

Looks very promising. Quote: looks like multiple squeeze doubling more than any single squeeze doubling I've seen I agree, but this kind of doubling has been coming up on coins from 2022 on. I've seen it on cents and nickels, but this is the first I've seen on a half dollar.

All I see on your half dollar is reflection glare with phantom doubling and a lot of MDD. You could prove me wrong if you take some additional photos, use less glare, a lot less magnification, and use different angles, especially on IN.

Having more than one example of a new possible DDO would allow you to compare the coins for die markers. If they all match then it is the same die and should be good for a listing. If the coins are coming from different dies it could be MDD. Always a good day when you have more than one example to look at so you are in a good position here.

I think an 20x photo will resolve the problem.

Very interesting. Do has the roots to master Die? The new photos show hub doubling and this combinate with the single new kind sqeeze Die to give this results? I am intrigue also by the digits 2 and 3.
thanks for the new photos.
I am curious to see what Atrox will say about this coin.

MDD (Machine Damage Doubling), and some reflection and glare phantom doubling.
