Here is an image of a 1969-S Lincoln Cent with shelf doubling. Not how the date is flat, and the fact that the mintmark also has a flat doubled shelf.

I added the coin with two photos to the variety resource page at the website.

Nice photo. I'll take a look at the other image. Care to briefly explain 'shelf doubling'?

Machine Doubling is also know as shelf doubling because when the die bounces if flattens the raised areas which was made upon the initial stiike. The larger the movement when a coin shifts the larger the "shelf."
