<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GenX Enthusiast, post: 3715589, member: 101075&quot;]May be true as far as I know, but this is a quote from the PCGS coinfacts page:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;True 1969-S Doubled Die Obverse cents today are extremely scarce. However, many new collectors confuse the 1969-S Doubled Die Obverse cents with machine doubling. Machine doubling is caused when the coin dies bounce as coins are struck. This occurs when the bolts holding the coin dies loosen. Machine doubling is very common and commands no premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>A true 1969-S Doubled Die Obverse cent will not have doubling on the mintmark as the mintmark was punched into the die separately. On a machine-doubled coin, the mintmark will be doubled along with most or all of the legends and devices.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if there is MD on one or more of the 40 known examples, it&#039;s not part of the DDO and doesn&#039;t really matter<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
