1969 s dd? or md?

Let me know your thoughts? I'm guessing machine doubling on the s. But I'm no expert. Don't know about the reverse on the bottom of the E and S

It would be awesome to find a real 69s doubled die cent. google this is you can see one of these scarce critters.

 

I've definitely seen lots of pics of real 69s DD. There is even one in my red book. It still confuses me the difference between DD and machine doubling.

 

hey don't worry about getting confused,before long you will learn the difference soon as you see it.

 

MD on the reverse. However, I think you may have a RPM.

 

What's a rpm? Sry I have a lot to learn yet

 

Repunched Mint Mark. It looks as though the "S" mint mark was punched in a second time for some reason.

PS there are almost 3,000 Lincoln varieties that include things like a RPM. Check out coppercoins.com

 

Awesome! Thanks. Do you think it would be worth getting graded if its the real deal?

 

I would say no because it would be worth about $5-$10 ($20 max). It would cost more to get graded. I would just put it in a regular 2X2, or if you want to splurge, a hard plastic 2X2.

 

I think the mint mark shows the characteristics of MDD, rather than a RPM, but you are correct, it would cost more to authenicate and grade than it is worth. Also on many very minor varieties, PCGS and NGC will not verify, so one is left to ANACs.

 

2x2 hard plastic it is. Ill just put her away for a while. Thanks for all the help guys!

 

Its Machine Doubling. Not an RPM.

 

Hey, apple, MD or RPM, I think it is cool and worth collecting/preserving.

 

I agree! Ill definitely take care of it. Maybe take it to a local coin shop for a second opinion. Not that I don't believe anyone's opinion. I appreciate everyone's input. Besides everything looks different in a picture.

 

Ditto!
