ThackerJesse18 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 09/03/2020 3:12 pm Hi new here and just curious to know if this Lincoln 1969 S penny is worth anything or if it looks like it's in any good condition. I haven't washed it or rinsed it with anything bc someone said to not try to wash any impurities off bc it could ruin a penny or any coin....so here's a pic again I'm new to any coin collecting & I read this year and mint s is valuable if it's a double die idk you tell me ? I don't see a double die but I may see it in the date if anything and in the R's looks thicker or wider kinda idk Thanks Edited by ThackerJesse18 09/03/2020 4:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It's strong enough to see this error with the naked eye! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/08/2020 12:30 am San Francisco struck 544,375,000 cents in 1969, 99.99999% of them are worth 1 cent. This year was also very very commonly found with Machine Doubling. This is why so many people get excited thinking they have found a windfall. Another problem with this date/mint is that since DDO #1 is so rare and valuable, and Machine Doubling is so common, it makes it very difficult to get any consideration as to whether a coin thought to be a possible DDO might be one. There are at least two different DDO's known, the big one and one very minor one. But if anyone posts a coin and asks "Could this be a DDO?" most everyone looks, sees it isn't DDO #1, and automatically says NO without any other examination or consideration. There is a difference between the question "Is this the DDO?" and "Is this A DDO?" Report this Post to the Staff
