"I thought yall would say that kind of stuff............" I know it hurts. We've all had coins that we wanted to be things they're not. The members on this forum usually know their stuff. In any case, I hope a TPG tells you want you want to hear. |

Thats ok, on the way to being certified and I will let you know what it comes back as! Cool ... looking forward to the official answer ... although I suspect most of us already know it.  Hoping you post some follow-up photos of your newly slabbed beauty.   David |

I am scratching my head on this one too. I am not aware of any valuable varieties for a 1969-D. Nothing in my book.

The responses may be the result of just .. not asking the right question or just not saying what you think you have. If you are refering to the big one as the 1969 doubled-die, then that coins will have a "S" mint mark. Yours appears to be a Denver mint coin. A 1969-S Doubled-die has extremely strong doubling on all ovberse numbers and letters. When you see a real 1969-S DDO coin there will be no doubt. Chery pickers guide list the value of a MS-60 coin at $85,000 Do not confuse Double-die coins with strike/machine doubled coins, strike doubled coins will have no added value. biggus77, if there is something else we are missing about what you see in your coin please let us know, maybe we can all learn something Edit: after re-reading my post I did not want to give the impression the posted coin is a MS-60. I should say Cherry Pickers Guide list EF-40 coin at $65,000 Edited by GR58

I know I am not a Lincoln Cent collector nor am I an error collector but I have looked at these pictures numerous times and I see absolutely nothing that would make it "the one" or even the "second". It looks like the 1969-D I have in my change bucket right now, the Machine Doubling on the W and all. I can tell you with 100% certainty that mine is not "the one" anyone would want to spend money on to be attributed as it would come back as a coin worth a total of 1ยข |

Biggus, you have a cent worth about 2 cents in copper value. I hope I am missing something. The guys on this forum are the real deal experts, I would listen to their advise.

It'll be interesting to hear the results. It might take another month though. I hope he remembers to tell us.  |

In the 6 1/2 years I have been a member of this forum, I have seen those same basic words post dozens of times. Inevitably, the poster finds out that their coin really was nothing afterall and they never return, too embarrassed to admit they were wrong. The downside of that is that a potential new collector was almost certainly turned off from the hobby due due to disappointment and money wasted on a useless certification. Some of that disappointment and money loss can be tempered by heeding the good advice that you can get from this forum. The fact of the matter is that, regardless of what you think you may have, it is nothing more than an ordinary circulated(and harshly scrubbed) 1969-D Lincoln Cent. Even if it is actually the one known doubled die variety, it would still not be worthwhile to get it slabbed and certified due to condition and relatively low value. |
