Found this in a sorted roll belonging to my Dad. I’m thinking Machine Doubling on the date & mint mark but wanted to be sure (in case it was made from a Doubled Die).
Probably MD, but looks really impressive. If I had it, I would keep it. Now let's see what the gurus say.
Imagine finding one even a little bit wider than your machine double, but you're going through a BU roll of 1969-S cents, and they're all MS64-65ish RD. It can stop a fella's heart for a beat or two. Been there, done that.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. Will put it in a 2x2 and keep it as a “live” example of Strike Doubling.
Putting it aside so you can reference it later is a good way to learn the differences between doubling. I still have a hard time but it's very convenient to refer to a piece you have. Most times you can answer your own questions! Great find there!!!
