1969 S Cent

Need better pics but it looks like MD. It is not the famous 1969-S doubled die.

Ok try these

To CCF , Your photos need to be more sharper to evaluate.

Thank you and yes I need better close up shots the reason my heart went thump is that the die cracks match the one found on line and the doubling I wish could be seen better in photos. Is there a place I can take it into because photos don't do it justice and thank you all

Thank you

Here is some info on phone cameras https://goccf.com/t/160092

If the variety is not on the coin, the matching markers mean nothing. The dies go over the same events over and over many times. So some die markers can happen on any die, But the small things like die scratches maybe present on some of the run of coins struck with a die. I mentioned "some" because die markers may come and go. Some of the coins are struck before die scratches maybe present. Some are only partially there because they flattened. But hub doubling should be easily seen in order for it to be collectable with powers up to 10X. Most collectors desire these. But even with the small images you posted, the big doubled die should easy have been in them if it is that die. Example:

We should see the doubling in your images even with the smaller images you provided.

We mentioned "MD" or called Machine Doubling, (I prefer machine damage as nothing is doubled about the event, just reduced/damaged devices in those areas) this is called from a normal die that experienced a bit of die movement during the strike. This damages the devices making them look larger as some may think. But the devices are normal sized and part of the devices are reduced in size.
Example:


You can see the normal devices on the bottom part of the coin near the fields. But note the upper part is affected by the die damaging the upper part of the devices. The happened a lot on the 1968-1972 cents. So because of the big doubled die for that year, the 1969-s cents are looked at a lot. Machine damage (doubling is common and to me is of no worth. To me it is a damaged coin. Machine damage can happen on doubled dies as well.

Note lower image's arrows.

A doubled die is called that as the hub that shapped the die was not aligned correctly during the creation process. Thus the doubling is on the die. Thus the term doubled die. On MD the die is normal and the strike was the cause of the damage to that coins devices. Hope this helps.
