The 1969 is still hanging in there.

Doubling doesn't have to be bold. Explain what you mean by you can only see an L and not a run off?

The image quality is poor. I can not tell what, if anything, is unusual about this coin.

I’ve mentioned this before, but rather than force the OP to search through my posts, I will mention it again. Over the years, I have put together binders with large format, high resolution images of hundreds of error coins. Some of these I photographed myself. Most I copied from a variety of websites. I also obtained handbooks, magazine articles, and web based information on errors. It helps me immensely in recognizing errors. Learning as much as possible about the coin manufacturing process is also helpful.

Time for more coffee.

thanks for the info, i think i have a nice idea of the errors out there, i actually have been working on filling a solo cup with the ones i do find, some day i will get them together and share them, as for the quarter, i just got a new camera, its charging, pics soon. earlier today found a strong 1971 quarter DDO with what looks like a extra strike off the edging and there is also lettering on the 3rd side also a 1920s wheat,, i had fun hunting today

I would recommend searching for websites about Error and Variety Coins and all the known Errors and as many Varieties that you can absorb (and yes, there are lots and lots of them) and learning all you can about Errors and Varieties. Get to know what makes a Variety over and Error and vice versa and how they came about. Doing this will spare you a lot of anxiety, depression, embarrassment, time and likely even money as well. Take it from one who knows all too well about both due to suffering through a lot from the last sentence and I have been searching and collecting Error and Variety Coins since 1973 when I found my' first and only 1955 "Doubled Die #1" Lincoln Cent in change in West Germany. When I got frustrated and angry at the Coin Dealers and the hobby, I sold almost all of my' Coin Collection over 10 years ago and it contained over 15,000 Error and Variety Coins. Most of them were Lincoln Wheat and Memorial Cents but there were many other denominations and even some Foreign.
