1968-S Strike doubling or DDO?

This one should be easy, but i'm having trouble. Any second opinions?

Give me a min, but why would the S appear to have a shadow or seemingly doubling also, I belive the mintmark is struck from the rest ? I have a 68S that looks like its from the exact die. Ill post.

 

Sounds good, Yeah the "S" has a split could just be a RPM with machine doubling

 

Im curious to hear what others have to say, I dunno

 

Mabie a loose die?

 

Your coin looks nothing like the OP coin.

 

what does op mean?

 

I found this in older CT ….. Doubling is flat not circular meaning that its Machine doubling.
Also its the 68-s, 69-s,70-s That are notorious for machine doubling and not worth much.

 

here is a different one of mine, labled as DDO




I don't think I paid a lot for it. dident find it myself

 

I did not see a DD in any of the above posts. The mintmark is added to the working die, so any machine doubling can affect both areas, only a couple of real DD also have a RPM.

Ejection doubling.

 

Thank you for the help

Great information, Thank you for the help!

 

those would be 2 die chips filling in the first pics/OP of the 1968 S

In order to form the "S" there has to be two small points sticking out of the die to form a place for the metal *not* to fill.

With the metal flow, it can easily break off those two points, and this cause the two small die chips. Thus the inside of the "S"s look filled in.
