I need some help with this. At first I thought this was the 'Poor Man' variety. But when I placed

1969-S-Dbl-Die?

1969-S-Dbl-Die? it under my microscope, it appears to have more than just 'edge doubling'. You opinions are much appreciated!

Notice especially on the mint mark, how the flat shelf-like doubling takes away from the raised part of the mint mark, leaving just a thin sliver of the mint mark. That is a sure sign of Machine Doubling. On a true hub-doubled coin, there would be additional raised portions of the date, and not smooshed down shelves. Also, the mint mark would not be doubled on a pre-1990 doubled-die coin, as the mint mark was added to the dies by hand previous to 1990. (Unless of course it was a repunched mint mark, but that's a different story..)

novis.,

I have attached a few shots of the real deal '69-S DDO LHC for comparison.

Your penny does not appear to be anything more than MD.
