Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 3:54 pm Another of the infamous 1969S LMC with quite extreme MD in the date and E and R in LIBERTY. Could any of the other photos suggest doubling. The dots in EPU look elongated and is the O in OF also MD? Edited by Pete41 10/28/2015 5:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 4:02 pm Unfortunately I only see the MD not anything pointing at doubling. The dots could also have md and circulation can wear then down easily to where you couldn't tell . The picture of the dot is a little blurry but with all the other md I would assume that is what it is too Report this Post to the Staff
Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 4:15 pm Thanks Tweak800. Pretty much what I suspected. I got the pictures too small in the upload process and didn't want to go through it again. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 4:40 pm This page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/1...20Cents.html Shows the real 1969-S DDO-001 along with photos of different examples of Mechanical Doubling. Once you see the differences in these coins, there are simple to tell apart. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 4:42 pm See the MD obverse. The thing that catches my eye on the reverse is a heavy polished die. Something about a raised roof keeps me wondering why (clashes) and looking for more. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 4:46 pm Thanks Halo 1st. I'll get some better shots of the roof. I didn't even see it was floating by itself. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 5:01 pm Some close up photos of the roof ends and one in the middle above Lincoln. It is totally floating Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 5:15 pm That is a nice example of the floating roof. Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 5:54 pm They did polish the heck out of that. Now that I'm looking harder for that it looks like you can see some polishing on the obverse between lincoln and the 1 . Report this Post to the Staff

Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 6:48 pm Thanks all but brings up another question. What is it that they were trying to polish out. Die clash as some suggest but what die clash? Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 6:56 pm Could have been a die clash or just deep scratches. To know for sure, you would have to ask the guy that polished it. Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 7:05 pm Seeing how they polished both sides of the OP's coin my guess is a clash. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 7:05 pm Thanks CWB. Don't have the guys name by chance do you? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 7:38 pm There is a lot of clashing going on both sides of the roof: Edited by coop 10/28/2015 8:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
