Message:: [QUOTE="mspenny, post: 524390, member: 17380"]I think these will be an improvement. It's still not as obvious as it is when I hold it in my hand, but . . . better, anyway. So, I don't think it's an aged, battered thing - the "double" on the date really looks like a 1, a 9, a 6, a 9 underneath the real date. And an 'S' under the real 'S'. Also, there is the double underneath the bust and also underneath the nose. 1) Is machine doubling common? Does it have value? 2) How come the mint mark AND the date and lincoln's image all have doubling? I thought that the mint mark was punched separately from everything else. Thanks VERY MUCH for your responses. It's really helpful, and so great to have people to ask! <img src="http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa237/brannieus/1969sbetterpic.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa237/brannieus/1969datecloseup.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa237/brannieus/1969bottomofbustdouble.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa237/brannieus/1969undersideofnose.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
