1969 S Machine Doubling Or Double Die?

@tbb, any chance of you posting a close-up pic of the area that appears doubled to you? Thx.

If it were that doubled die, we would see it on the images you already provided. It would look like this:

Your coin is not from that die. The 1968-1972 cents had a lot of Machine Doubling on them. That is what you are seeing on your coin. Machine Doubling is created on the coin post strike by looseness of the machine. It alters the fresh struck coin. This is seen on the outer/inner outlines on the devices. This is what creates a machine doubled coin. This Machine Doubling can happen to a normal or doubled die. But the Machine Doubling never makes a coin a doubled die. It is the doubled die, that creates the doubled die coin. So you can have a machine doubled, doubled die coin, but Machine Doubling never creates a doubled die. The doubling is on the die. Thus the term: "Doubled die."

CoopHome: I have doubling on my 1969-S Cent, why is it not a doubled die? Term "Doubled Die."

First to the CCF. Second with the 69s dd it's soo dramatic you can see it with the naked eye. The chances that you find one 50 years later is astronomical. I think one was found a few years ago. There are 2 more minor DD from 69. We would need better close up pictures to confirm.
