eleanor New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 07/25/2025 7:32 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21608 Posts	Posted 07/25/2025 7:45 pm 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. Edited by JimmyD 07/25/2025 7:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 07/25/2025 7:56 pm The cents of the late 1960s often show really clear Machine Doubling and your coin is a great example of this.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74149 Posts	Posted 07/25/2025 8:06 pm Machine Doubling and Die Deterioration Doubling. Machine Doubling is common on 1969 S cents for some reason. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

eleanor New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 07/25/2025 8:42 pm 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! Report this Post to the Staff
