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.

refer to this link

and you will get to see the ones that have been
found

just type in the year mint mark

and check all the boxes about DDO's

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
 
quality pictures.

could someone fill me in on the difference between a double struck coin and a DDO?

maybe it's simple i don't know? :dontknow:
