CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2735 Posts	Posted 10/31/2023 12:32 am I thought this KHD had some nice doubling so I picked it up for under $10. There is some damage on obv/rev which I didn't notice in the photos but thankfully it doesn't distract much from DDO. The attribution seems right but there are some differences like the splits in "T" which makes me wonder. The "split ends" in the hair under "R" has a neat look. Thanks for looking. http://varietyvista.com/12%20Kenned...1DDDO004.htm "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 10/31/2023 04:28 am Nice pickup. Really clear and crisp separation on your example. Do you think yours is a much earlier die state? TRUST, on yours, seems to have the die dots at the end of the bottom curve of the S to the U that match the VV images. (Thanks again for the link for easy viewing of the variety.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

To be fair, this is a crystal clear example of x/y or rotational translation doubling on a relatively large coin with minimal circulation wear. It's probably the best case scenario for that decade of American coinage. Most of the doubling that rookies want to evaluate is on much smaller coins, often with circulation wear, and lacks the feature displacement. Some doubling classifications are shallow, shelf-like, and not easily distinguished from Machine Doubling. Even some Cherrypicker doubled dies could be confused for Machine Doubling by someone inexperienced. Report this Post to the Staff
atrox001 Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 10/31/2023 11:48 am Your half dollar is not the 71D DDO-004 FS-101. Your half dollar would be the 71D DDO-009, reference Variety Vista. The DDO-004 FS-101 has the ODV-003 (Strong R), your half dollar has the ODV-002 (Weak R). Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2735 Posts	Posted 10/31/2023 11:57 am Thanks for the comments on this one! Atrox- Thanks, that does looks right. DDO-009 it is. Looking through the 17 different DDO's listed on variety vista, there are only 2-3 with the ODV-002. I'm assuming ODV-002 is a lot less common and I would be curious to know mintage figures if that was possible. Oddguy- I'm thankful for your comment but do agree with Brandmeister that though this is clear doubling, It wouldn't be of help for beginners trying to identify for instance Class VI doubling on a Lincoln Cent.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 10/31/2023 7:55 pm Excellent job Atrox001. Always nice to get a correct attribution. (Maybe the die dots at the end of the bottom curve of the S to the U on TRUST are on the master die since they seem to be on 004 and 009.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
