1969 S Strike Double Penny Found

Hey all, been lurking on this forum for several months and now have something interesting to post. Today I learned what the difference between a double die and a strike double, its about 125k. See the pics of a 1969s memorial penny with strike doubling in the date, mint mark and liberty found in loomis roll. What do you think I can get for it?

Thanks

That's not a double strike, its machine doubling.

Strike doubling is the same as machine doubling.
OP is correct. It is mechanical doubling.

OP is correct. It is mechanical doubling.

Double strike refers to an error in which the planchet is struck by the dies twice. Strike doubling is doubling that occurs during a single strike.

Sorry to bust your bubble, it is not THE 69-S DDO. Yours worth 1c.

Here is a link for the real thing:

Keep searching you never know.

Thanks, never said it was a DDO, was just curious if the strike double had any value.

You were the first one to mention double strike.

Your wording made it unclear. It is worth 1 cent only.

This is my specialty! I had the luxury to photograph one of these lovelies in 2010. If I can figure out the attachment thing on here I'll include a shot of the obverse. As for strike doubling or Machine doubling, they usually don't carry a premium. But, that is dependent on the amount. I have sold a cent or two over the years for something like a dollar with some extreme strike doubling. The key word here is extreme. Other "striking" types to look for that are very interesting is double strikes. I have acquired a decent collection a couple years ago, and I hope to photograph a 1924 double struck Lincoln cent at a close to 90 degree rotation. Anyway, I hope I can get the pic to attach.



Interesting side note, notice the strike doubling on the mint mark?
