[QUOTE="Midas, post: 48698, member: 2761"]For the 1969-S: Mechanical or strike doubling of the mintmark is common in the 1969-S and should not be confused with the double-die variety. Remember, the mintmark was hubbed into the dies and the mintmark punched in at a [U]later[/U] time. Therefore a true 1969-S double die will [B]NOT[/B] show doubling on the mint mark as well. Doubling should be on the 1969, IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY...but not the S mint mark. [IMG]http://www.coinworld.com/images/NewCollector/errors/g-1969s.gif[/IMG] For the 1995: Doubling is most noted on LIBERTY and to a smaller degree IN GOD. If your 1995 is filled in, that is common for coins as sometimes grease fills into dies as they are minted. You really don't see doubling/shadowing for the 1995 date in a true 1995 DDO. Referenced from Charles D. Daughtrey's book [I]"Looking through Lincolns" [/I] and [I]"The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents"[/I] by David W. Lange. As GD states, "Knowlege...Share it!" Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]
