This coin shows doubling on date, Lincoln (nose, forehead, lip, beard), some wording, mint mark. Faint triple image on "TRUST", date, and "AMERICA". Trying to figure out source of images. Date and face rotated 180* under ELIKLIV scope and imaged under both conditions, to reverse any lighting angle effects.

That is Machine Doubling, a worthless type of doubling on the date and the nose.
The rest looks like Die Deterioration Doubling.
Both are considered worthless types of doubling.

The cents of the late 1960s often show really clear Machine Doubling and your coin is a great example of this.

Machine Doubling and Die Deterioration Doubling. Machine Doubling is common on 1969 S cents for some reason.

Thanks everyone! Forgot to mention doubling around Lincoln's eye as well. I've never seen it in that location. But I am just a novice. I see it now, but very faint third image is just from deterioration. Thanks again!
