c_b_mazur New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 11/25/2020 02:02 am Did I find a 1969 S DDO. Looking in the Red Book it seems I might have. Looking on PCGS, I begin to question, since I don't see anything on the Liberty or the In God We Trust. I do also know that several fakes were made. Not sure what I might have here, or if it is worth putting into a 2x2 and saving it off to the side. What are your thoughts and suggestions. Should I also make consider this one for grading? Also, in the same box I hunted were 14 Wheaties, and 1 Indian Head (1898) first IHP found roll hunting. Hopefully the other 2 boxes produce for me. Report this Post to the Staff

On the real big DDO, the date is the least affected, the other obverse devices show a huge amount of hub doubling: Machine Doubling was very common on the 1968-1972 cents. Even the DDO's had Machine Doubling on most of them: Note all 4 of these are doubled die, but all 4 have Machine Doubling. But note the yellow arrows? Note that Machine Doubling all these examples, differently, but all from the same direction. Machine Doubling is caused by the machine. But a doubled die has the doubling on the die. Thus the term doubled die, and it can affect doubled dies as well. Because they are two different processes. Die design and a striking issue causing the Machine Doubling.
