This is a completely normal 1969S cent.

Not sure if it is the light or angle etc. but I see
some possible mech. doubling on the reverse.
Obv. looks normal.

Here is your problem that you do not seem to understand-


you are comparing an obverse doubled die to the reverse of your coin, that makes no sense at all. It is plainly obvious that your coin is not 1969S-1DO-001 which is a very noticeable and extremely rare and valuable doubled die. There are only two known 1969-S obverse doubled dies( DDO) and no known reverses( DDR). In regards to 1969S-1DO-002, that is a relatively minor doubled die with doubling confined to the date. You are left with two choices- you either have a completely new DDR(highly doubtful) or a perfectly normal coin as coppercoins has already stated. Machine Doubling is exceedingly common on cents from the late 60s and many many novices confuse that with collectible and valuable doubling such as doubled dies and repunched mintmarks. BTW, insulting one of the leading Lincoln Cent experts and a highly regarded author is not productive. I have seen coppercoins be wrong only once or twice in his postings here and that was on coins outside of his speciality, on all occasions he corrected himself once the variety was revealed.

PennyLoafer63,

I have read the posts from the beginning, 1st you are dealing with some of the brightest, experienced Numismatists I have had the pleasure to learn from, that said, when I 1st came to this family I thought there were some people brighter than other's, and this is true.

I use to have what Chuck called "thin skin", because I would pose questions to the forum and he would answer with a short, seemingly rude, obnoxious remarks.
Since, I have learned that is just how some people are, "to the point", I also use to say and still will, that it is not what you say, but how you say it!
I have since seen Many people comment on "this manner of dealing with people", and am here to say, Chuck is a very unique, bright, knowledgeable, expert when it comes to the Lincoln Cent, and some other coins, His mannerism in which he gives advice, In my opinion,is also unique!
Toughen-up, he means well, for the most part, keep asking questions, it is the only way, around here, you'll learn......

i might add that there are a few people here that respond to nearly everyone questions. chuck is one, but there are others. anyone how takes as much time and effort as those do, that respond to as many questions, should certainly be allowed to make a brief, concise statement. I some cases I feel fortunate to receive any responses at all. speaking for myself - I too have doubted some of the opinions rendered by the obviously knowledgeable people here, but after more research, or comparing my question coins to other similar coins (same year, MM, condition - ETC), I have eventually concurred - at a rate of 100%. you are clearly allowed to disagree, and have your own opinion, but do not discount the knowledge and expertise of those who give you a informed - honest opinion.

Too much disagreement and arguing to read it all BUT in the first post of the pic, it shows MD ( Machine Doubling)..Sorry

The pictures are smaller than postage stamps and can't be enlarged. Still, the ones that are big enough show Machine Doubling and not die doubling.

Many new discoveries have been made here so those of us who are involved in the die variety field are always open to new discoveries. It just doesn't look like this one is it, based upon the pictures.

Thanks,
Bill
