Hi, Welcome to the forum!
It is a strong MDD, Machine Doubling Damage. The flattened secondary image is the prime identification point. In a true Doubled Die, the 2 images would be close to similar height. Nice looking coin however. Normal value.

Thanks much, afraid of that, I'll keep looking!

 

I don't think it's a DD because the S looks doubled as well as the date and part of Lincoln's face. It also looks like there's a huge gash going around the rim of the coin that's definitely PMD. The doubling is probably PMD as well.

Hi again, here are 2 head on of same 1968 S. Same verdict?
Thanks to all for your help.

 

I agree. it looks like machine doubling.

 

As already stated that is machine doubling.

:welcome: to CT.

 

Sorry - same verdict as before. It's a nice example of strong MD though, and if I had it I'd keep it.

 

Thank you all!

 

I am not an error collector, however I have read all of the threads about hopeful DD's. This is the most dramatic MDD I have seen posted on this forum. Cool coin and great conversation piece for sure.
