1969 S mint penny double die?

Came across this 1969 penny with S mint mark. Was reading about a 1969 penny with S mint mark double die that was worth a little bit more than without the double die. The penny is deeper than normal and there is something going on with the numbers. How do you know if it is a true double die and if so, what is the value? Please help. I am new to this.

Was reading that the 1969 S mint penny double die is a little more valuable than without the double die. I found this today at work in a drawer of change. It is deeper than normal on the face and is flush on the rim on reverse. There is also something going on with the 6 and 9. Please help. Is this a 1969 dd and if so, what is its value?

 

Sorry but that's not the one you are thinking of. Check out these images.

 

Thank you.

 

No, it is not a doubleD die

 

nope

And it is a doubleD die

 

That's strike-doubling, Jeremy, but it's a keeper one. We have several of these in the '68-S and 69-S. When they're that extreme, they're good references; plus, they're cool. Not worth more than a cent to anybody, but nonetheless cool.

 

Awesome. Thank you for the information. They might only be worth 1 cent but as you said, they are cool.

 

A little bit more--it's the most valuable LMC DDO--examples have sold for over $100K. It's rare, but good luck finding one!

 

The upper part of your CENT looks like it might me a Double Rim or False Rim. Nothing major.

 

Thank you. I have run into quite a few with the double rim or false rim. The I take it are very common? Nothing special in regards to an error, right?

 

Is this an example of 1969s ddo?

 

I assume you mean the one shown above in post #3? If so, no...

 

All 5 are the same penny though, i just took them in different angles. Could it be a poor man double die?

 

Post #3 to this thread. Simply scroll up to view it.

A so-called "poor man's" isn't a doubled die anyway, but is simple die deterioration. It's possible your coin displays some, but wouldn't change anything.

 

Ok thank you so much .

 

Sorry it wasn't better news.

 

You should create your very own thread concerning your Cent in question.
But as stated.. Not a Doubled Die

 

I have a 1969 s red coin can someone tell me if it real or not ???

 

If you can post good images, I'm sure folks here can help.
