its not but you can check coppercoins.com and you can look up the different ddo's to see if there's any comparison
do the letters show any doubling ? if they don't then I would guess that what you have is a coin with a banged up date from circulation. also I want to mention that there are a lot of 72 cents that have a severly MD date. I have one that looks like it almost has two dates but it is the worthless MD
I see that John Wexler is starting to do, what I call new DDOs, (1972) maybe theres been a movement in the error world going on, it seems the mints over the last 10 yrs or so, has let out all kinds of lincoln cents, I know back in the early 2000's a 1969-s was found in north mi. they just said from checking some of his coins, the price of the coin at auction was worth over 1oo,000.00 dollars maybe thats why potter wrote " Pocket Change " o-ya, I'll check for markers, thats the name of the game
I believe the specimen you are referring to was pulled out of an original bank roll, not pocket change. You can read about it here. http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/1969S1cDDFound.htm
hey non cents, I just check the link, thats not the one that was found in mi. I've been a collector of pcgs coins, and in the 2000s pcgs had a monthly magazine, and the coin from michigan was on the cover, I think it was the june issue of 2007, they only had the magazine for 1 yr. I have all 12 issues
I think this is the one found in Michigan, unless someone else found one there, too. From the article:
well, thats potter story, I don't think potter ever seen the coin, I'll try to photo the story pcgs wrote about the coin, and photo the cover to show the coin, I think the story went, he was looking though some mint sets, it graded red 64
And from PCGS...http://www.pcgs.com/top100/coin7.aspx So it was not mint sets, but 1969-S rolls, and the coins did come from (and I believe were found) in Michigan.
i know this is off topic but anyway I'm thinking if these 69 doubled dies are real the mint workers must have caught them early and destroyed all they could find. I have some modern coins that are really scarce and this is what happened to them. if there were quite a few of these the roll the 69 cent coin was found in should have had more of them. some of the 69 ddo cents were determined fake by the treasury department and later they were declared genuine.
I know that the bank I bank with, they gave me 4 rolls of 1968-s, and yes non cents potter did see the coin, I just got the magazine, heres a photo of it
