Soooooo.
There are 2 coins that I hate the names assigned to them.
The 1988 P/D Wide AM
The 1964 Kennedy Transitional Reverse
ALL 1988 cents have a wide space between the A and M
The difference is the G ... the shape of the G
these should be reverse of 1989 ... or flared G... or something. I see people saying I have a 1988 D wide AM ...
then I look and the plan G tells me it is just a 1988 D cent
The Kennedy half was created in 1964. the accented hair proof was the very first design of that coin.
The accented hair Obverse and Reverse are not transitional die. they were used in the same year they were supposed to be used in
with that being said the reverse was just another slightly different design die.
it is similar to the type 1.type 2, and type 3 1972 P Ike dollars
there is no notation from the mint that I have ever seen discussing the use or no use of this die for proof or circ strikes
what I am seeing is indeed the reverse proof die design that was married with the AH proof obverse die... but on a circ coin.
Variety Vista list this as RDV-001 (straight G) for P,D, and proofs LINK
I have both types of proofs and a RDV-002 circ for P and D.
it is a variety, but the info I see.. it is a common variety
I will check for some more info shortly

Thanks very much for your detailed explanation. And thanks for that link. I've seen that site before. All that text looks great and is very impressive but where are the associated pictures with all those varieties. Like most of us, I'm a visual kind of guy.
Hey, I just heard back from Jim Wiles. He's calling it ODV-002 and RDV-001. I guess he's the go-to guy! Unless I'm overlooking it, I don't see pictures of it on his website.
no he does not have pics of half Die Varieties.
I too have sent him a Email asking about clarification on "transitional" in the reverse die case.
if you Google 1964 AH Kennedy half there is a lot of info out there some with pics
I have enjoyed this thought process about this coin. Good Luck

A premium?
for a variety to have a premium price people need to want it.
everyone who collects Doubled Dies wants a 1955 DDO 1
1955 D DDO 1 .. not as much
so the price of a 55 DDO vs a 55 D DDO BIG difference.
PCGS and NGC does not list this... Cherrypickers Guide dose not list it or gives it a FS number
although a cool variety I believe this happened across all mints and proof and Business strike also.
IF it was published and people thought," cool variety, wish I had one" and more and more people wanted it.
It would carry a premium. right now as a variety I do not think the market is there for a premium based on condition
Sorry about this.
try and get Coin World or Numismatist News to right up an article on it....

Can't argue with that explanation. I guess I was thinking if it came back MS66 or better, the interest in the coin and premium would up. I guess it's all subjective. A coin is only worth what someone is will to pay for it. Thank God this coin stuff is only a hobby for me. If I had to make a living out of coins, I would have starved years ago!
