1967 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-003

Description

Struck in 40% silver clad composition during the three-year period when traditional proof sets were not produced, this 1967 Kennedy Half Dollar doubled die obverse is attributed by the Wexler Team and cross-referenced as CONECA Possible 4-O-II. The CONECA designation suggests a Class II doubling mechanism on the obverse, though the attribution carries a preliminary classification pending further study. Wexler Variety ID: 1967 50¢ WDDO-003 anchors this variety in the reference catalog. The 1967 Kennedy Half Dollar belongs to the Silver Clad 1965–1970 series, struck with an outer layer of 80% silver and 20% copper bonded to an inner core of approximately 21% silver. No proof coins were produced from 1965 through 1967 — Special Mint Sets replaced proof sets during this period — making this a business strike variety from a transitional era in United States Mint production. Three documented doubled die obverses for the 1967 Kennedy Half reflect moderate research coverage on a date that commands collector interest for both its silver content and its place in the SMS era.
