*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! ***Everyone is pretty much aware of the famous 1969-S Doubled-Die Reverse, the rare very valuable cent worth a ton of cents to say the least. My question is of concern to values of a 1969-S with a nicely doubled date and mint mark. If only this half of the coin is doubled I don't think the cent would be worth half the value of the full on DDO, do you? I'm just wondering on the value, as this coin is not in the CherryPickers' Guide. Any ideas, and thank you wishing everyone a safe Christmas. Mike H.

 Wa chew tauwking 'bou Willis? 69 OBVERSE perchance? And it is quite unusual to have both MM and date doubled on the same coin, this an't one.  Edited by Crazyb0

I know it's a rough photo, I'll send more when I have time to take them. My lady is gone and I am supposed to be cleaning up the house... I learned my lesson from the reverse 1969-D and got educated by your posts since then, as well as learning specifics from the owner of my LCS. This looks exactly like the one in the guidebook re: 1969-S DDO, but I haven't gotten out my 100x scope for a good once over. As far as I can tell there looks to be doubling under Abes chin and downward halfway along his chest. I'll save that for my later posting when I have a chance to take good photos. Sorry about the angle of the image and I do have copies of the Coins for Dummies pdfs. I have read them. I promise you that this is a genuine thing and will get good pics as soon as I can with proper angles, this is not a proper angle. Thanks again.  |

There's something there, but look at my pix above. The 69S was notorious for MD. On my pic, note the direction of the movement, it is the same shape, direction and amount on both mm and date. I think I see that on yours. Remember that since the mm is punched separately from the hubbing process, the identical movement needed is all but impossible to do. There's only a few dates where there is / an RPM and a major DDO on the same coin, 1969S isn't one of them. Get some good pics, I'll be here, unless I lose it over the idiots on board tonight!lol!

You may have something there or it could just be MD. I'll wait for clearer pics.   In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

darn , you really do know your Lincolns! Ok, I'll put up some pics. I brought a few 1943 S and D into my LCS. My guy said he thought I found varities, but he is not super knowledgeable when it comes to errors, and wouldn't buy them unless they are registered. Are you a member of the ANA by chance? My coin guru/shop owner wants me to drive up to Co. Springs and visit the ANA up there. Lots of resources and it's only 4 hours away from me. I'll post the steel on a new thread later. Are CPU scanner images okay? Sanford and Son is far better than Different Strokes. Thanks btw. Edited by X9 Mike Honcho

Mike, no not a member. I don't travel, or go to shows anymore, and really have no need for the benefits of membership. I don't usually ever have anything worthy of wastinger spending money to submit! Not really interested in that passing fad. I just like playing with the stuff. Surprised you don't have more than one LCS in town, ANA may be a nice vacation stop some time, if that's where your interests lie, but there's plenty of resources online and books you can even check out from the public library. Yea, Redd Fox was better than the shrimp... but neither was my all time fave, the 70'sand early 80's had lousy shows! Edited by Crazyb0

Scans generally represent coins very poorly. In this case, your scans imply that it is MD even more than the first pic. That is the most likely explanation. I've considered joining the ANA. There are some nice benefits including NGC submission privileges and being able to make use of the ANA's library. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

 that later photo really makes it look like MD. As for the ANA, I simply love The Numismatist magazine. Every issue has something I can enjoy reading and I have found a few dealers that stock the type of coins I'm looking for. |

The scan of the reverse really does show massive MD, that coin was a-bouncin' in the cradle!

The big DDO is obvious even at a distance:  Your coin is a normal one with MD. Sorry |

The only thing you should be sorry for is that ego. If you would have read my post to begin with you could have posted, somewhere else.

I agree. X9Mikes's coin is not the real deal, and the question has been answered - very little value here. Newbies should be careful about dissing other members - not a good way to get started on the forum.  Edited by Coinfrog
