1969 S DDO?

[Polly]

Still learning. Found this 1969 s. The date is in question but the interesting part for me is the possible doubling at the chin and nose.

What do you think?

This is obviously not the big one as that coin has strong doubling on all the lettering, but that is pretty cool nonetheless.

Strike doubling.

That's a pretty neat find none the less. Here is a good article by Ken Potter that explains the difference between the 1969-S DDO and strike doubled cent you pictured.

The web site helped a lot , so thank you Packet Art.

Any comments bout the chin and nose? Is that part of a Strike double

[Polly]

Sorry about the type o Pocket Art

[PocketArt]

Yes, that is also strike doubling on the profile as well. Here is another good source on varieties, along with some more comparisons on strike doubling which also includes a mechanical doubled profile that you can view. Hope this helps!

The web site was lots of help. Thank you PocketArt. I view so many websites and have read so many books in the last month. But I love this stuff. My husband and I spend hours trying to learn all we can.

We live in Alaska so long dark winters, this helps keep us sane.

Don't forget that NGC has provided a guide to varieties that includes examples of strike doubling:
