I agree with the others.
The TR appears to be MD.
The secondary rim is from a misaligned die (not a doubled die).
Keep up the hunt.

 to the CCF as stated above you can see a 69DD without any magnification. |

Guitardoe... You have the coin in-hand and can view it under a variety of lighting conditions, at different angles, and different magnifications. We can only view the photos you posted. If you feel you have a legit DDO consider submitting the coin to a reputable 3rd party assessment/grading service. If you do, please let us know the outcome.; Thanks. |

I will echo John1, which attribution number is it? I believe there are only two for 1969 S obverse, have you matched it up on Wexler or Variety Vista?

@Guitardoe, There are three obverse doubled dies listed on coppercoins for 1969-s https://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php, two of those listed on Wexlers site https://www.doubleddie.com/314201.html and those are not matched to the coin you have. There is also the Machine Doubling I mentioned found on 1969-s. If the coin does not match existing listings in general then it would either have to be sent in and in a few cases might be attributed as a new find, or is nothing and being misidentified by the poster as being something its not. Currently the replies feel there is no doubled die on the coin presented and does not match the existing entries for all known doubled dies for 1969-s. Edited by datadragon

As ijn says, if you think all of us are wrong, with our centuries of experience by all means send it in to be verified. Don't forget to come back and show us. If a top 3 grader verifies a DD I will pay the grading cost.

Guitardoe,yeah everyone is right. I thought I had one also . Mine was really clear and extremely clear doubling. I looked closer and saw it was machine. There has to be a lot of doubling all over the coin,not just in some areas. I thought I had it but no.Nice try though because it still is exciting to find machine doubled coins. I am losing track of all the machine doubled coins I have. Some of the coins I have are extreme in doubling like some of my dimes. Take care and good luck. One day both of us will find one.

@Saturn you will both likely find doubled dies if you keep hunting, but if you both find this particular doubled die, I'll eat every article of clothing I own, because the odds of two particular hunters finding this coin are about as good as quantum tunneling through a solid brick wall.

Sam you are right. This coin is extremely hard to find. I think I would find a 55 double die before finding a 69.

Probably so. Experts estimate that the number of known specimens of this 1969-S doubled die penny is only about 40 to 50 coins. At least its a real coin that may be out there still to find another so its certainly always worth looking if you have 1969-s cents, while it seems some of these super high value coins seem to only have had 1 or 2 found and therefore at times I joke because those might be much closer to a mythical find to find another... but we search anyway  Edited by datadragon

So yeah you guys you're wrong it is a double die you just can't see We are wrong and can't see? If you are so confident that it is a DDO, then why do you ask us? It seems like you are convinced this is a DDO, no matter what we say. No amount of pictures is going to convince us otherwise. Suffering from bust half fever.

if youre cherrypicking, trying to make some $$$ (yay!) the coins GOTTA be MS65+(there are exceptions) for it to sell big. Keep searching, keep looking, and keep in mind: Is this coin ugly or pretty good looking still? if its still good, then put it on ebay and see what happens! |

@Guitardoe.... Coincidentally, I have a '69 S LMC w/ the same doubling on "Trust" but if yours looks like these photos, unfortunately its MD.    |
