Jessiescorpio New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 11:30 pm I found this 1969 s penny and it seems to have a possible dd on the S mint mark and a dd on the IB in liberty and machine die on E not sure. I didnt see anything else but can include more pics. Your input appreciated. Thanks Edited by Jessiescorpio 08/08/2018 11:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74935 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 11:36 pm Not a Doubled Die Obverse. It's Machine Doubling, since the devices are reduced in size, and it's shelflike (flat) in appearance. Machine Doubling reduces the size of the devices, while genuine Doubled Dies will increase the size of the devices. http://www.error-ref.com/machine-doubling/ Errers and Varietys.

killians76 Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 11:39 pm Gonna go with Md on this. It all seems like it has a "shelf like appearance" to it. No added value. Very common on alot of my 69's also. Edited by killians76 08/08/2018 11:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 11:44 pm Very common to find Machine Doubling on the 1968-1972 cents. On the 1969-S DDO-001, most have Machine Doubling on them as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74935 Posts	Posted 08/09/2018 01:21 am Thank you for posting that picture! You see how the doubling is shelflike (flat) in appearance? That's because during the strike, the die bounced off a little bit. That's a definite sign of Machine Doubling. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Jessiescorpio New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 08/09/2018 01:33 am I see what your saying with the S. What about the B? I can see how this would apply to the side of it but what about the part going through the top and bottom hole of the letter? Edited by Jessiescorpio 08/09/2018 01:35 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/09/2018 04:51 am Jessiescorpio, FYI: I think you mean a RPM on the mint mark not a DD-doubled die yes? Your coin is MD and does not have a RPM. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
