1969 S DDO?

[JasonB]

Hi,

My mom found this searching for die varieties in a box of pennies. This doesn't seem to be the DDO in my CherryPicker's Guide. Could it be another variety? Anyone have an opinion of the value?

I find it hard to believe that it's Machine Doubling with the severity of the Liberty.

Thanks in advance,
JasonB

I wouldn't get to getty yet... there is only less then 20 coins known to exist.. I can or can not say if this is a 1969S DDO or not I'm not expereinced enough to know...

I agree. I'm sure there are some experts on here. I also email Ken Potter from his website. I'll see if he has time to get back to me.

Sorry to burst your bubble but, that is a double struck cent, i.e. machine doubling. Sorry for being the bearer of bad news.

No one's bubble is bursting. Thanks for the opinion.

I agree that the doubling on the date is fairly common but I haven't seen such an extreme example of the LIBERTY doubling on the same coin. Have you?

I'd love to see a similiar pic for comparison.

Thanks, X. That was actually my first stop. I love that site. It's slim on 69 S DDO's though. That's what got me to thinking this isn't as common as folks assume.

I always enjoy your posts by the way. JasonB
