Copperround Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 10/13/2016 11:01 pm I asked my folks to pick up pennies for me as they traveled from Florida. I am beyond thrilled this was among those pennies! I'm pretty new at this but I do see some ddo-please let me know what you see! Report this Post to the Staff

Copperround Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 10/13/2016 11:29 pm Not common as dirt to me! You have no idea how many pennies I have looked at. I was thrilled with a Greaser which is NOT common as dirt as I have only found 1 good one of those. Thanks for your thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

dd27 Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 12:18 am I don't know much about double dies (lots of experts here who do). But I LOVE your enthusiasm! Way to go! Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 12:21 am It's always nice to find something new! That isn't the BIG one, my guess is it is Mechanical Doubling like shown here: You can learn more about this on this page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/1...20Cents.html 1969 sure saw a lot of that, it's almost a challenge to find a nice one without the doubling. Keep up the hunt! Report this Post to the Staff

yanks21 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 02:33 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 06:53 am 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 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 10:28 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 10:51 am 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!

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 12:35 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
