I cannot open this link. now I have it opened. Thanks great article

 

That is on a single example. The MD isn't a die marker for the real one. It is just saying that MD has been found on a real example.

 

Every example ken look at exhibited strike doubling on the mint-mark

Except for the last one that one also if I remember correctly had strike doubling on the 6 and 9 too along with the mint mark

 

Very interesting, Rick. Had no clue they're actually faking these.

 

Here's my 1969-S DDO...

 

And I even have a 1968-S DDO...

 

The 1968-S and 1969-S are notorious for strike doubling.

 

I believe the counterfeits Mort Goodman made were 1969 DDO with no mintmark. I might be wrong though. I know when the authorities busted him, they ended up destroying some authentic 1969 S DDO cents too.

I have a thread talking a little bit about that as I acquired some books once owned by Mort Goodman.

Forgive me if I sounded liked a killjoy, that was not my intention. I'm glad my oldest son is still into coins to some degree, and he will know what to do when my time comes. I guess I was just thinking that time are tough and who knows anymore. But good points on old jars and filled cans still hiding somewhere. I wish only the best on this find.
