Lol. You got me. Super cute

 

One of the greatest scandals in recent Numismatic history was the creation of the 1969-P "Double Die"cents. These were outright fabrications and are not to be confused with the legitimate 1969-S double die cents. The spread of the doubling on the 1969-P cents was so extreme that no engraver or coiner could have missed it, and its nearly inconceivable that such a die would have been placed in the press.
When the counterfeit 1969-P DD cents were exposed, it led to an unfortunate situation in which the legitimate 1969-S double die cents were viewed with the same suspicion. In its zeal to stamp them out, the U.S. Secret Service seized several specimens of the 1969-S DDO coins from their owners and had them destroyed by the Mint. It even went so far as to provide photographs of the supposed counterfeits to The Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine, which ran them in its October 1970 issue. There is no indication that the Secret Service or the Mint ever admitted it's error, though no effort has been made since the 1970's to seize the few known specimens.

Thanks Cheech.. Well now that I mentioned it..lol What's your opinion
On this one buddy?

 

Maybe MS. hard to say in wrapper

 

If you look at post #5, the 1969-S shows extreme doubling in all the lettering.
Compare your coin to it.

 

Hello Micheal.. Yea I checked it thoroughly it was M.D. but now that we are here can u plz gonna your opinion on this one? Thanks

 

Hello Paddyman..
Hope All is well..✊
Professional opinion plz If u don't mind sir.. Thanks...

 

Do you really think it looks ANYTHING like the pictures of the real one that have been shown to you?

 

I see a normal Cent. If you are asking if it is a Doubled Die then I will say no it is not.

 

Cuz we don't know any better. Stop thinking

 

For Real @Kentucky

 

OP, just look at the picture of the real 69S DDO and compare yours 69s to it. If it doesn't look like it, then its not. How many times will you keep asking if its a DDO or no? Check yourself

 

CHEECH. I GOT ONE!!!!

 

Precciate that buddy... Now that we here I'll check myself if u check out this coin for me..

 

PADDYMAN I GOT ONE !!!

 

NO

 

I can say without a doubt that the coin shown is not the DDO. I have owned the real thing. Found it, got it graded, and got it sold in a major auction. The real thing is unmistakable.
