New errors I found yesterday

[CaliShawnNokc]

1972-D Half...Extra tail feather

1971-D Half...Double die on lips and jaw

1969-D Half...Double die reverse

1971-D Half...Who knows what!? If anyone has seen this before, or knows what it is, I'm all ears!

1969-D Nick...My guess is this is a man made error, not a mint error any comments on this one would help as well.

Overall I hope some of these are good errors and might be worth a nice amount.

The last one has the numbers punched in, it is post mint and worth face value. I can't see an error in the 1971 half.

For the 1969-D DDR use this:

Sag,Kennedys head looks like it it over lapping with a couple letters in Liberty.

The "doubled dies" not double are machine doubling. Not true doubling. No added value.

I hate sounding ignorant, but how can you tell, and what is the difference? I'm pretty new to this and Don't really know what I'm looking for.

 

[enamel7]

True doubling will be on the same level as the design as the doubling is a part of the die. Machine doubling is due to a shift in the die at impact, causing a sliding effect. The easier way to diagnose it is this way. If you visually remove the doubling the design will look normal on a true DD. With MD it will take away from the design.

Thanks, that's good info. So what would you say is a good thing to look for? Should I be saving things that you can see with a naked eye?

 

[enamel7]

Not necessarily. You should get a jewelers loupe and some research on doubled dies to start.

 

[CaliShawnNokc]

Cool, I have a few websites I've been checking out, but I have the feeling i'm getting misleading information. I just bought two books that I need to finish, but I don't want to stop coin hunting in the meantime. It's too cold to go detecting, so here I am! Lol

Your 71 Kennedy looks different. I've never seen anything like that!

I use this to look at coins. Seems to work pretty well: Amazon.com: Bausch & Lomb Hastings Triplet Magnifier, 14x: Health & Personal Care

 

[CaliShawnNokc]

That's a pricy loupe. I'm guessing it's a better quality than the one I got and was giving me headaches. Worth the money, I guess

I've got 3 halves in my pocket (two 71s and a 74) and Kennedy's head is over the lettering on all of them. Pretty sure that's the design.

 

[enamel7]

Yes, that is the normal design.
