to the forum!

It's a real 1969-S Lincoln Cent, but it's not the sought after doubled die.

The year 1969 has many cents that exhibit Mechanical Doubling. It has fooled a lot of people.

You coin is also an example of a slightly misaligned die.
Rest in Peace

I am impressed that you even had the interest to notice the oddity of your coin. I am sure the experts on this forum will comment about the off-center strike of your coin and how common it may or may not be. I am impressed about the quality of your picture, and welcome you to this forum. It looks like you have a "keeper" for a coin of this age and condition even if it may not be of extreme value.

Ok I have another 1969D but not a DDO or DDR. I found it kinda of interesting because when I zoomed in it has like a different texture to it. It looks porous. I ask I'm i allowed to continue posting on this post page or start a new posts? I apologize.... New to this.

Start a new thread because it is a different coin, with a different question.
