Here's one of five 69 d's that I have. Not so much of the obverse but the reverse as a floating roof ,no FG, and please tell me that's doubling on the reverse looks like it's all over the lettering. I have a very hard time with machine doubling and true doubling. I know I got short-term memory and sometimes it's a real*****to remember things. But this caught my eye as I was sorting 69 d's. So tell me some good news LOL
I actually found a lot of 1969 cents so I picked out the ones that might be doubling. Isn't there something that's supposed to be going on with the mint mark d on the 69 d's? I should have got close up pics but I forgot. I'll do that after I'm done here. Don't look like there's too much going on with the obverse but on the reverse, the United States of America and one cent seem to have doubling in it. Would this be considered a floating roof even if the left side looks like there's something there. Also no FG okay thanks everybody I got a couple more to post. Please be kind LOL
I will kindly state that your photos are not of a caliber that will assist me with determining that your coin is a DDO or DDR. You can go too http://www.varietyvista.com/ and research your coin there to determine if it is a variety or not. This research requires a 10X loupe to find die markers that can define your questions. They have really nice photos that will help with a determination. Good luck and keep looking. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/DDR listing.htm
I would say no but is there a 1969-D doubled die? No mention of it in the Red Book. The 1969-S is the one I know about and that’s in the Book.
The roof is floating due to the die being polished. The FG is there, just not all of it. Again, die polishing. As for the DD, no.
I'm not seeing anything but a worn, circulated cent, even after I super enlarged it. The "almost" floating roof and missing initials prove it is a worn die that has been over polished, leading to mushy details.
