Congrats! I too do not find many "S" coins here in CT. When I do they are not in as nice of shape as the one. Keep us updated on the hunt. Kevin in a CT.

Copperround, With all due respect,MD and Grease Filled Dies are common. I have looked through nearly 5 million cents and have seen many of both. S mints are less common here in Michigan though. John1  |

Even far away you can see see the doubling on the big one:  As mentioned it is one of the common machine damaged examples. The 1968-1972 cents had a lot of these. |

I honestly get a little excited when I find any Lincoln with that much red on it from 1969; an S mint is even more exciting to find in the wild. It is common in the sense that there are plenty you can go out and buy, but uncommon to find in circulation, especially east of the Mississippi.
Congrats, nice find!

I'm a bit West of the Mississippi, other than that  with KenKat.  Nice find! Unable to clearly zoom in on the current images so DDO is not apparent. Thanks, Doug. |

Thanks for the encouragement and comments. MD's are about all I find. I've seen some DD's but nothing significant. Only one good Greaser which I posted on here. Thrilled with an S mint because I've only seen P & D coins. At some point I may purchase coins but at this point, the thrill is in the hunt! Hey John1, Michigan neighbor  |

Something about an "S" mint mark. I keep ever one I find.
