Have I just found myself a 1969-S DDO?

It is doubled but it is machine doubling.

The photos you've posted are for the most part useless regarding your later question on the misaligned/off-center issue.

As for the PDF, I don't know what else to tell you. I tried...

Again, a doubled die is a VARIETY, and there isn't a snowball's chance in hell your coin is of the claimed VARIETY.

 

Everything is machine doubling on your coin, regardless of other coins minted in 1969. No need for hostility and all capital letters, because the answer to the original question is simple: it is not a valuable coin... If you want, waste your money and get it graded, and you will end up with a regular VF penny in a slab.

 

That T looks like it took a hit. Circulation wear.

 

These types of posts come up about once a month, so please excuse our members from getting a little short on the answers. Had you bothered to search you would have found this thread from about a month ago:

Go and read through that post. Now do you understand why I may be a little less inclined to answer your post? I answered the previous post, which took considerable time, but you can't be bothered to search for 2 minutes to get the answers you want.

To you other quesitions, are there other 1969-s DDOs besides the big one? Probably, actually it's almost certain that there are. But DDOs are valuable based on the degree of separation between the hubbing. I don't know if yours is DDO or machine doubled, this is not an area I care to specialize in. But I do know that even if your coin is a DDO it's not worth much money.

I give you great credit, Beef; you've the patience of a saint.

It wouldn't be so bad if such people showed a sincere willingness to learn/discuss, but when molehills immediately become mountains, well, let's just say I don't share your stoicism.

 

If they all look like the coin in your original post then NONE OF THEM ARE DDO!!!!!!!!
Sorry your coin is NOT a DDO hub doubled coin! And anybody that has eyes can see this.

Please, take a look at the following picture:

 

Since it looks like you are not accepting any of our comments towards your Cent.. I believe this is the part where one of us needs to tell you what to do with your Cent.
Send it to have it attributed by a major Third Party Grader. Mainly NGC or PCGS.
Let them decide what you have in your possession. And just like we always ask... Make sure you let us know the outcome of the results (many who we have told this to have never returned)

Have a good one and Peace

 

yes, it is not doubled

 

I bid you adieu

 

Oh my, really? Don't tell me they all look like this one, too.

 

I think that you are assuming an association with a company make the authority, which isn't true. Are you a numismatic author with Whitman? or just purchased from them? Same for ANA. I agree that this is not 1969-S DDO #1, any others would command much, much less value. The press/ dies can not deviate in the directions you show in your post, "offset" as you say. Read about die and coin production. If such did occur there would be previous coins with such, and not even the modern cents have that. If the associations were made to impress the forum, I think you will find that hard to do, without the physical evidence. The forum does not impress easily without definitive data. Jim

 

I think you are all reading into it. I can't understand *why* though. When I wrote " I think I found myself a doubled die", I meant "I am not sure". Sure, I can't deny that since a very high premium is associated with the 1969-S DDO-WW1, I did submit submit my coin to your suggestions with great excitement. However, I wasn't expecting to be treated this way, at all.

 

Treated what "way", exactly?

 

There was in fact a question which the 2 sketches helped a member to better understand what I was asking.

 

exactly

 

We can all debate without being rude or personal, can't we?
