OK... So I took a crash course in these JFK's... I bought a small collection the other day and there was roughly $150 in JFK's. After finding multiple examples of this "doubling" I am inclined to think that it is in fact
Machine Doubling. (or else I hit the jackpot on 1974 JFK
DDO's) I know how rare the DDOs are so it only makes sense that this is more than likely not a
DDO considering how many examples I found that have it. VERY interesting and it is deceiving for a collector who (like me) does not know much about them.
I am willing to admit I think I was wrong. but this goes to show that though there are things similar in these coins, there are plenty of differences... also probably should not take advice from JFK noobs like me.

The best part is I learned something!
