Nope, not the big one; you don't need magnification to see that one, doubling is very evident. There are only a few big one DDOs known, but random specimens on very rare occasions have ever surfaced in the last 50 years. |

If it were DDO-001, you wouldn't need us to confirm because you'd be able to see it from about 5 feet away.

It is hard to see but if you look at the rim on the left side of the front of the coin you can see that it's been doubled and also on the lettering at the top and the r on the T

I think you need to study the way coins are made. Go to Wexler's die varieties and read about what doubled dies are, then look at his entries for 1969 s. You will see that this is not a doubled die.

That's a slightly misaligned die causing the appearance of a doubled rim on the left.

This is a 1969-S DDO to look for. Notice the doubling is found on all the numbers and the letters on the front of the coin and not just the date. Its quite striking as others have mentioned so not too hard to identify.  There is also Machine Doubling found on a 1969-S. The date and S appear to be flat on the coin surface. An actual 1969S DDO does not look flat. Both the date and S are raised and rounded and all the letters and numbers are also doubled, not just the date. This type of doubling occurs when the die strikes a planchet. If the die is not properly seated, it can move slightly or bounce during the moment of striking, creating a flat, shelf-like doubling. This effect will be different on all coins struck, so it is technically not a variety, but rather more of a striking error.  Edited by datadragon

Just Machine Doubling which is common on the 1968-1972 cents. The DDO has enlarged devices:  On your coin the devices are reduced from Machine Doubling. A doubled die comes from a doubled die and can have Machine Doubling. But Machine Doubling never makes a doubled die. One is caused by the die, the other is altered by the machine.  Note the difference in size on these DDO? |

Although it's hard to see the doubling is in the word trust both teas and the are I'm sending a new picture and if you look at the face of the coin on the left side on the rim you can totally see it's doubled all the way up the side  |

 As mentioned earlier, you can see the difference from seeing it on the coins without aid of magnification. |

You can't have a Doubled Die on a rim. That is caused by
.the misaligned die. There is no doubling on your coin.
