No, not doubled die if that is your question based on photos

 

Hello to you and welcome. I got one of those.

 

I put the coin under 10x. Then did research how to tell dd. And it looked like the others. Its not machine doubling. ?

 

If memory serves me, I believe there's at least one other DDO (aside from the "big one") for the date/mint. I'm not suggesting it is said variety, but there's no harm looking into it.

That said, I simply cannot see any doubling on your coin, but it could be a mixture of my less-than-stellar vision and the photos.

 

@Maes daughter, it's machine doubling. The machine that strikes these fires them off like machine-gun fire. There's a lot of bouncing, slipping and sliding, and that's how these double impressions form. They're not on the dies. They're formed when the dies strike the planchets to make the coins.

 

Can you actually see this? Honest question.

 

The true well-known 1969s ddo is very dramatic compared to this coin. Take a closer look and the two look almost nothing alike. A word of advice- before you go hunting through all the coins you encounter, take some time to learn about the varieties and types of errors. After all, knowledge is power when it comes to numismatics.

 

I zoomed in a little. I don't know, is that cheating?

 

I'm not questioning you, but only trying to gauge how bad my vision has become.

 

The S is "doubled." If we had clearer pictures, we'd see it better.

 

Ugh... I can't even see that. Perhaps the time has finally come to bite the bullet and address the issue. Thanks kindly...

 

I hope you're saying is just glasses. If it's just glasses, they're not too bad. People stopped calling us "four eyes" years ago.

 

Yes, just glasses.... but I'm a stubborn old fool.

Hell, I can barely read road signs anymore...

 

Ok Thanks guys.

 

Well, that's good. But not you can't read the signs. Bite the bullet, you old geezer!

 

Added 2 more photos. Liberty. And 1969 was what i thought i saw as dd. On the 969.

 

Congratulations.. I believe you have the first "Is this 1969 S DD?" question for 2018!
This is the big one - click on image -

 

Sarcasm. I do know of this 1969. But there could be more. Seem that some educated coin people on here are not educated in people skills.

 

Humor. Seems like some people lack it.

Peace
