69 S DBL Die or do I need a break from looking at coins?

I'm still really new to collecting so I came seeking input from you folks that are way more knowledgeable than I. To me it looks like doubling but maybe I've been looking at coins for too long today and I'm just seeing something I to want to see.

I look forward to your input.

Welcome back! This is NOT a DDO. Just machine doubling. This is an example of the infamous 1969S DDO.

 

Yes, you need a break.

 

The Mint Mark would not be Doubled because in 1969 it was hand punched onto the Obverse Die. Look at the picture that dwhiz provided of the true DDO variety.

 

Hey @paddyman98 ? You got the wrong guy! You said dwhiz. It was me silly that provided the example.

 

Break time!!

 

Yes that happens it's like a mirage lol

 

It’s doubled but not a doubled die. MD or machine doubling at its best.

 

Doubling needs both to be the same height

 

Like Cheech says, they should be close to the same height, see this 1955/55 example and how they blend due to same height.
