chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 04/17/2008 3:05 pm About a month ago I purchased this PR67Cam 1969S Just decided to take a closer look at the coin today- Please look at the S - M/M- its almost completely clogged in the upper portion of the S and also look close at the letters GOD- they seems to be slight doubling. Since this was graded by PCGS- is it safe to assume the semi-clogged S and slight doubling was/is not important to any extra value of the coin, so it was not listed on the slab, or did the graders miss this? Opinions welcomed!

TPG's won't do anything more than they are paid for. Richard Report this Post to the Staff
ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 04/17/2008 3:33 pm The "GOD" does looked doubled as I can see splits in the top and inside bottom of the G. Does any of the other lettering on the obverse show doubling? Richard Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 04/17/2008 3:37 pm Thanks. I just looked at a US Proof SET 1969 from the Mint that I have - and the S in the penny is also clogged or at least looks clogged- so either I have 2 semi-clogged M/M's or its normal- but the letters are definitely different- the US mint set shows crisp letters- no doubling at all.

BobK Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 04/17/2008 4:13 pm I just took a peek at my 1969 proof set, and the S is nice and clear. I also looked at an AU business strike, and it had a clear S mint mark. Needless to say, I saw no traces of doubling anywhere on my coins. Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 04/18/2008 6:52 pm Here are some more pics of this coin The first picture is from my 1969 Proof Set- for comparison with the "GOD" - the remaining 7 are the PR67 coin. The more I look at this coin under my 20X lens- I really don't see much, if any doubling & at best its so minute, its not worth pursuing getting it looked at any further Image: 1969pr67USproofsetjpeg1.jpg 45.82 KB Image: 1969PR67PCGSjpeg1.jpg 36.01 KB Image: 1969PR67PCGSjpeg2.jpg 31.03 KB Image: 1969PR67PCGSjpeg3.jpg 33.86 KB Image: 1969PR67PCGSjpeg4.jpg 32.9 KB Image: 1969PR67PCGSjpeg5.jpg 39.53 KB Image: 1969PR67PCGSjpeg6.jpg 40.44 KB Image: 1969PR67PCGSjpeg7.jpg 33.59 KBby any Third Party Grading Services. Its a nice PR67Graded Proof coin (with a semi filled M/M not annotated on the slab) That's all. If anyone things they see something from these pictures that I missed, please - comments welcomed.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/20/2008 12:43 pm The 'clogged' mintmark is normal. A lot of them are like that. It's just something on the punch. The doubling is a form of Machine Doubling common to that era in proof coins. I have seen a lot of cents with this deceptive doubling from 1969-1973. Report this Post to the Staff
