It just looks like a normally circulated cent to me.

 

Collected or stored from circulation and then simply recirculated again which caused wear on the high points of the coin.

Not an error. And yes, Brass is an alloy made of Copper and Zinc.

 

Looks like there might be a die crack through the ear in the hair, and the date and mint show strong Mechanical Doubling Damage.

 

I think the hair is flattened out normal features?

 

All 1969-s seem different than other brass pennies to me, but that is just my opinion.

 

Sorry here a better picture I hope.

 

here a better picture, sorry

 

here other photo , sorry

 

here a better pic , sorry

 

As conder said, the date shows mechanical doubling.

 

thank you

 

better pic

 

so that mark on his nose is normal ? and it's not brass ? thank for your help. wow

 

The mark on his nose is damage.

 

It's hard to see but it really look like it was melt when it got stamp there like little melt balls like was on the stamp die ,like the ear and the like the 1969 s . I try to get a real good picture . could something got on the stamp die when it was stamped ? all so the R and Y mechanical doubling to. Is there any value in a coin that have strong mechanical doubling ? Thank you

 

It seems like the date is doubled.

 

Mechanical doubling usually isn't collectable.
The area of the nose was not "melted" when the coin was struck, it is not consistent with any error. Since the coin is circulated, that just furthers the evidence that it is damage. If the coin was uncirculated then it MAY be a different story, but it is not. Sorry, it is PMD.

 

thanks One last thing what PMD
