1964-D Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-009

Description

Ninth in a growing catalog of Denver-minted 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar doubled die obverses, WDDO-009 carries the distinction of belonging to the most aggressively hoarded modern U.S. coin. Public enthusiasm for the Kennedy design was so intense that banks reported customers purchasing half dollars by the roll and bag, removing them from circulation almost immediately after release. Within this tidal wave of production, individual die pairs bearing hub doubling went largely unnoticed until systematic variety research decades later began cataloging them. Roberts' portrait with its fine detail in the hair, ear, and collar provides sensitive diagnostic areas where even subtle misalignment becomes apparent under moderate magnification. No specific die markers have been documented for WDDO-009. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID: 1964-D 50¢ WDDO-009, with no other attributions established by competing reference services.
