Hey guys, I found this Kennedy half dollar few days ago, and I believe it is WDDR-001 VDDR-002. What do you think, did I get it right? Thank you!!

Definitely a doubled die. Congrats! =)

Not entirely sure that WDDR-001 is the same as VDDR-002, as there is no cross reference. Seems reasonable, though.

Thank you Brandmeister!! I thought that too, but was comparing WDDR-001 with both VDDR-001 and VDDR-002, but then I found that WDDR00-1 is more similar to VDDR-002, and mine is more similar to VDDR-002 than VDDR-001, unless I have found a new DDR?

Generally, the only way to distinguish similar doubled dies is by markers.

Yes Brandmeister, after I replied to you, I take my coin and put it under microscope to check that, and I believe mine has the two markers on reverse that doubleddie.com is pointing out

Note: I'm not good looking for markers though, but I'm trying my best.

Let me start off by saying that a while back James Wiles told me that the difference between the 73 DDR-001 and the 73 DDR-002 is the 73 DDO-001 has the normal D in DOLLAR, and the 73 DDO-002 has some doubling on the inside top of the D in DOLLAR. The marker that Wexler listed, die scratch by star under D in UNITED is on the half, 73 DDO-002 in my collection. You should be able to see what Wexler, CONECA (VV), and you have. Attached is a photo of the normal D, and the doubled D in my collection.

Hi atrox001! Thank you for your reply! Yes I looked in my coin and it seems to have the scratch in the star under the D, I'm having some trouble with my microscope now, but I will try to take some pictures in that area, I didn't post images of half dollar either, but I will do it soon when I post the images of the markers, so you can help me to confirm if I'm correct. Ohh I will check the D too, thank you for that information, is very helpful for me to identify which one I have . I appreciate it!!
