Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2242413, member: 15929"]UGH! Why do I continue to open all these 1969-S DDO Threads?? Here's a reality folks, the 1969-S DDO is so much of an "IN YOUR FACE" Doubling that even the weakest of non-literate coin searchers could spot it and have no doubt that it was THE coin. If someone has to ask, then it simply is not a DDO. Yes, there is a 69-S DDO which is very minor in that doubling can only be seen on the upper end of the first 96 in the date but, this isn't that coin either. It seems that folks do a bit of minor research and conclude that, without a doubt, their Machine Doubled Coin is in fact a Doubled Die yet, never fully understand what they have nor choose to believe those that actually KNOW. I think it would be a fair statement that if someone came along, posted clear, undoctored and accurate photo's of even a minor doubled die, that 99.9% of the folks here would be handing out the"atta-boys"! Now, to answer my own question of "why do I continue to open these threads?",Simple answer: I keep hoping that someone actually got lucky and found one as a few others have in the past. It would be quite a score![/QUOTE]
