Chris1974 Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 07/27/2024 11:36 pm I know the 1969-S Lincoln Memorial cent does have a DDO but I'm not finding this version I have. I'm only seeing doubling on the date, MM and LIBERTY, last three letters (RTY). Not sure if it's DDO I'm seeing or Machine Doubling. Sorry for the bad pictures as I don't have a digital magnifier.

The letters look full but I'm also looking to see like on the corners of the doubling is not just coming straight off but also makes a knuck where it comes down also. I would keep in investigating that coin. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19165 Posts	Posted 07/28/2024 07:21 am Yes, Machine Doubling. And yes, the '69 S is known for some rather strong examples of Machine Doubling. I've seen many, many pieces over decades of roll searching. Suggest keeping this one for reference purposes. Report this Post to the Staff

donnie59 Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 07/28/2024 08:48 am to the CCF! with the Machine Doubling diagnosis. One thing that has helped me over the years is on coins minted prior to 1990, if the Mint Mark shows doubling in the same direction as the date, then in all likelihood, it's an example of Strike Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling. Before 1990 the Mint Mark was added to the Master Die after it had been completed. After 1990 the MM was put into place while the master was being engraved. Report this Post to the Staff
