Hi could someone tell me if this a double die cent or machine doubling. I know the pictures aren’t the best and I can try to get better ones if they are not clear enough. Look at the letters of TRUST.
This would be "strike doubling" or "machine doubling", same thing. The DDO for this year is very prominent for the 001 and slightly for the 002. Follow link please.... 1969-S DDOs
Your Cent is an example of worthless doubling. Go to doubleddie.com to learn all about true varieties and worthless doubling. https://doubleddie.com/144801.html Here is a picture of a true 1969 Doubled Die variety. Also, the mint mark would not be doubled because it was added to the die after it was created. Even though it could have a prepunched mint mark it's not the same as a doubled die appearance.
@paddyman98 "Also, the mint mark would not be doubled, because it was added to the die after it was created, which is not the same as a doubled die", 1969 S. . Also, If I may, Don't get lazy when viewing any, 1969 Lincoln cent's obverse. Imagine a first view of this dated 1969 coin's mm. You may think, "oh it's just a damaged D mm, date, and the entire obverse side, looks like trash". Now, look carefully at what lazy said was a D mm. Well, isn't that S,pecial ? Adding, showing no scares, around it's mm.
I know, yes, I am aware that the photo below is a different date and style of doubling. Remember this,..... " You have to kiss a lot of frogs, to find a prince".
The doubling you are showing is flat and shelflike. That makes it worthless doubling. It is not in the same category of a true doubled die. That's fantasy talk. You are living in a fantasy world.
"That's fantasy talk. You are living in a fantasy world." . Metaphors are often used to create vivid imagery, add depth to descriptions, and make writing more engaging. " You have to kiss a lot of frogs, to find a prince". . Referencing, too look for. " You have to view a lot of photos, to find a DDO"
