SquirrleyGirl New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 01/28/2020 01:47 am Hello! I want to thank you in advance for your input and looking at the EXCESSIVE amount of pictures. I included some with arrows indicating what I thought to have been DD and comments on observations—I promise any future posts will NOT have this many! I have spent a lot of time going through posts and stickie's that have pictures and explanations, regarding the very questions I am asking through photos. However, I have also watched a few videos that seem to lack consistency in their identification of errors. I have seen consistency on this site with many members providing support and feedback to learn from. Now I have finally decided to post coins that I am finding. I am starting out with this 1969 S Penny, as I have seen many individuals inquire about it. I know that it is not the coveted BIGGIE DD. I am using this coin to gauge my ability to distinguish doubled die and mechanical errors, along with mint damage and post mint. I am hoping that this post with feedback will reduce my "asks" about coins in the future, including building awarenesses and confidence in what I am looking at. Thank you all! I truly appreciate the time you take to look at these photos and provide any feedback! Report this Post to the Staff

SquirrleyGirl New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 01/28/2020 1:01 pm Thank you everyone. I knew it wasn't the true 1969 S, however regarding doubling I have a better understanding between the two types and PMD. That is exactly the feedback that I was looking for. At some point I will be posting another coin that is just plain "off" from what a normal quarter would be, to gain more insight. Once again, thank you all for your input! This is something that I find calming when I get into a hyper focused stares—plus it really doesn't cost anything. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/28/2020 3:13 pm When looking for the 1969-S the best spot of see if your coin is the big one is to look at the Liberty amdn Motto areas. The dates will often show Machine Doubling on the dates, but the other two areas are so obvious when you know what to look for: Keep in mind there are probably less than 100 examples of these out there. With 54,4375,000 of these cents struck that year, your chance of finding on of these is pretty slim. Report this Post to the Staff
