1967 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-011

Description

The 1967 Kennedy Half Dollar DDR-011 carries the Cherrypickers' designation FS-102, confirming its recognized collectible status. Catalogued by VarietyVista with die markers UVC-114 and DMR-009, the doubling presents as a medium triple spread on the stars beneath UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and on the lower letters of AMERICA, with a double spread on the remaining stars in the circle and those between the rays. The obverse die is also catalogued separately as DDO-007, making this a notable die pair with documented errors on both sides. Four die stages are recorded: Stage A (MDS) is unconfirmed; Stage B (EMDS) confirms both reverse and the paired DDO-007 obverse at EMDS; Stage C (MDS) shows numerous die scratches on both sides with a strong SE scratch from the O of GOD; Stage D (LDS) is unconfirmed. The 1967 Kennedy Half was struck in a 40% silver clad composition — a transitional year. The FS-102 cross-reference, the triple star spread, and the confirmed DDO-007 pairing collectively make DDR-011 one of the more thoroughly documented Kennedy Half doubled die reverses.
