JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 20779 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 10:39 am Do you have a question? All I can see is some minor Machine Doubling. What do you see. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 18070 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 10:43 am Possible obverse Machine Doubling. Can't make much out of the images posted. Report this Post to the Staff
Dough101 Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 10:45 am I see it's not normal. But the coin dealer told me, "It's normal." Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6341 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 10:55 am May be a "floating" roof....I'll let other add their comments to that... Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 63514 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 11:52 am Other than the Floating Roof, it looks normal. I am not seeing any kind of doubling. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 77075 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 1:55 pm the images are far from ideal for us to view. Remember that you have it in hand, we have to depend on the quality of the images you give us. Pleas try to get larger, better images, and tell us EXACTLY what you are seeing that is not normal.

Dough101 Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 3:30 pm I admit I don't have the photographer skills and still don't have the right tool for it. The reason I say this coin is not normal is that I see an extra layer of metal underneath each letter, that are being affected; and they look fatter. Example: S there is another S under the S, etc. Some are very strong doubles. I just looked at it again. And, believe me or not, I checked all those coins in the photos, and found this piece there.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 20779 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 4:11 pm What you are seeing is either Die Deterioration Doubling or Machine Doubling. Hard to say which from the photos but it doesn't really matter, both are types of worthless doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
Dough101 Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 4:15 pm I tried. Report this Post to the Staff
Dough101 Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 4:18 pm The coin dealer did not mention or see the deterioration. Just "Genuine coin and normal". Report this Post to the Staff
Dough101 Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 09/21/2025 11:24 am I found several 1969 S and 1969 Philadelphia, and none of them look like this one. I will be posting another anomaly coin soon. This coin dealer guy also told me it is "normal". So far, one person has told me he sees something. I will take these coins to another coin shop to get more information and feedback before sending them to "PCGS". Report this Post to the Staff
Dough101 Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 09/22/2025 4:45 pm I found some interesting information online. I am confused by this example of DD. I thought Double Die had two elements? In this example, there are 3 elements piled up in 1,9, and 5. Gray, blue, and red; however, it is still a double die. Also, "Machine and hub double die can be present together. Unconfuse me, please. Thank you, coin community. Report this Post to the Staff
