Looking for your opinion. I can upload more pictures if necessary. I believe it's a a DCAM DDO. The toning and composition is insane. The pictures don't do it justice. Please let me know what you guys think. Thank you.

@not, first welcome to CCF. Second, I definitely see the doubling in your pics (which are way above average for a first-time poster by the way). However, I'm wondering if this isn't Machine Doubling, as it appears to be shelf-like in nature. TO help you with your research, here is a link to the two known DDOs for this year/mint:

Looks like MD to me as well and not a DCAM going by those pics.

Thinking Machine Doubling, yes. Might be worthwhile to see full, large and sharp pics of the obverse and reverse--helps establish full context.

Not sure on this one, but it's a very interesting discussion! Excellent images for a new member, as someone noted above. Focus was very good! =)

This it is not an DCAM coin.

Second: I know you look for FS-101 but this coin it is Not. You has an Second strike MD.

Also from what I just looked at the link that Spence sent me. I am 100% positive that it's a FS-101. There's no way it's not.

with Machine Doubling.

What is going on with that S mint mark? A Tall S style mark is usually much fatter on the bottom, or at least not so top heavy. You might want to examine that more closely, because there is a repunched mint mark for 1969-S 25c PF that sticks out the top.

So this is the best I could zoom in on the S.

So like I said Spence sent me a link to variety vista and my coin looks like FS-101. From the mint mark to the doubling. But what do I know, apparently not much.

You miss up the Fs 101, you has to go to the basic of those. Sorry you are wrong. Stop to convince as you has an 101.

Yours is not the FS101. the FS doubling goes to the right, your 'doubling' (MD) is most definitely going south (down) This is very step like indicating MD. Sorry.
