Closest thing to doubling you are going to get from that coin...

No, uhhhh, criticism intended, but there's not a doubled die in any of the coins that you've posted.

Of Course, you can always believe your buddy and then send it off to Heritage Auctions for slabbing and selling.

Then you can come back and share your good fortune when the results are in??

Whatever you decide is up to you but since I have absolutely no dog in this race, rest assured that the 69-S isn't a doubled die coin.

Forgot to add, thanks for posting the photo's and keep searching.

 

No just asked u to nicely keep your critisim to yourself. Were or when did I tell you to lie to me. I would like feedback on the others. Are there not lower class ddo for 69s because the pics in the red book don't even look like those pics

 

There is one more BS 1969 s DDO in the CONECA master listings but it is described as having a strong spread. I don't happen to see any doubling on the one you posted but, hey, people are still discovering new varieties so I guess you never know.

 

As far as that goes, I see 4 different RPM's

 

Those darn doubled dies are hard to find. That's what makes them rare. Anyone can find one anytime but not likely. I got fooled last week by a machine doubled 1990D. It is a beautiful color, very nice doubling, not shelf like but in the end not a true doubled die. You have to have visible actual doubling. You can argue until the cows come home but if it's not real who cares? A good place to start is doubbledie.com, and Lincolnresourcecenter.com. Also Jason Cuvier has a site. All three have tutorials on doubled dies, and how to distinguish them from other types of problems coins have. At first I would look at every cent for a LONG time trying to see doubling. If you stare at something long enough around the middle of the night it will be doubled... LOL
Now it takes only half a minute on some and most just a glance. You need to learn the "key dates" and look at all the pics at Coppercoins.com, and doubledie.com, and "The Cherrypickers Guide" book so you can remember what doubled dies exist for the year and what they look like. They say first buy the book, then buy the coin. Same thing here, if you don't know what to look for one might slip by. There is always the outside chance you can find a new unknown doubled die. Some have only one or two or four coins ever found. That tells me there were other times, dates, a few slipped by quality control for a few minutes but 5, or 10, or 1000 coins out of say 5 1/2 billion coins for a particular mint in a particular year is going to be DARN hard to find. People do find them though. Good luck in all your endeavors!

 

'73 is pretty much a loser year for doubled dies. There is one DDO listed but it's very obvious doubling of LIBERTY and not very valuable. On a few there is an "unexplained" bulge behind the columns of the memorial on the reverse. It kind of looks like a die clash. I found one and thought I had something but it turns out to be quite common and worthless, and still unexplained.

 

If that's how you want it, great find!!!

 

Well, that's not how die variety attribution works. Either the coin in question stands up to scrutiny/criticism--or it doesn't. We look at the coin, we look for a match to documented markers. Either we see the markers and confirm the DDO or we don't--simple as that, nothing personal.

You posted 4 different 1969-S cents. None match a DDO, but here's the good news--one of them looks to be a repunched mintmark. It's clearly seen in the lower loop of the S (arrow). It may be the 1969-S-1MM-002...update: it's just a punch defect.

 

The '69-S is an easy one to attribute. Your coin isn't it.

 

The one coin posted is not RPM-002. What makes RPM002 an RPM is the split serifs and the separation lines on the upper curve of the "S". It has nothing to do with anything going on inside the lower portion of the "S". So the bad news is that you definitely do not have the 1969S DDO and you also don't have any RPMs. Keep searching though. You'll definitely find some RPMs if you keep looking. You'll probably never find the 1969S DDO, but it's always fun to dream.

 

All of you are correct, the coin in question isn't a ddo-1. The doubling has to be extreme to be the big one. I know this coin very well, and can tell by experience that it isn't ddo-1. I know for a fact that they are out there, so keep looking!

 

OK--I'm hardly a Lincoln expert--on second thought, that's just a punch defect (now I remember). I defer to your knowledge--see how that works?

 

Thanks Kurt. And I'll keep defering to your knowledge for overdates.

 

hey guys I can't post pictures right now but I have a 1958 wheat penny and it appears to be a double diver ID it is in mint uncirculated condition and the sum of the doubling is in the neck region there is actually three different outlines of the Nick can anyone tell me if this is unique to a 1958 known double diealso D face facial region also shows doubling as well as the date slightly and I also have a 1974 half dollar that appears to have a particle caught in between the cloud layers it bulges on both sides

 

hey a cloud in the particle that bulges on both sides sounds interesting i order doubles to save waitress extra trip only one tip too saves money but triple gives me idea thanks for next round can save more you were saying outlines in neck region so must be new but not double diver if triple like I said oh also facial region hmmm now interesting never heard it new discovery maybe wonder what it's worth just asking

 

What?!?

 

That's what I'm trying to say.

 

I have no idea what's going on here

 

Yoda, Is that you?
