Since it's a 69S I thought I would run it past you guys before tossing in the copper pile. The only devices affected are the word Liberty. MD ?

You are correct. Some circulation damage there too.

Thanks Rackster. Kind of thought so. DD's are still a little confusing for me.

Note the devices are not enlarged, but reduced in overall size. The area below the damaged device is the size the device should be. During the strike a hop/bounce/die movement damaged that area of the coin reducing the size of the device. Here is a 1957 coin with the same issue, but the image is in 3-D:
1969-Lc--Probably-MD-But
This is what happened to this device as well:
1969-Lc--Probably-MD-But
1969-Lc--Probably-MD-But
Note the reduction on this device? If came from a normal die, but was damaged during the striking process. These are not a doubled die. A doubled die has the doubling on the die and will show the same enlargement on each coin struck with that die:
1969-Lc--Probably-MD-But
Hope this helps.
