I found this 1969-S 1c in a penny roll a year ago and I had it graded an MS63 by PCGS, but after reading about the 1969-S DDO I took a second look. Is this a 1969-S DDO, DDR? Please look at my photo evidence and let me know if I am all wet.

There were a lot of problems with mechanical damage being done to coins from 1960 through the 1970s.
Double dies refer to multiple impressions on a working die, prior to 1996. Those impressions on a steel working die dont move locations. Most descriptions tell collectors where to look for the doubling. Some websites add too many photos, some of which dont show doubling. Some photos may show pick up points or markers to look for but they are not always present on all coins.
This would also be a variety IF it matches a known doubled die. Do not be surprised if the admin or a moderator moves this post to the appropriate forum.
I do have a post in my signature block that helps identify which forum to post which coins. Its worth a read.Last edited by MintErrors; 01-21-2026, 07:58 PM.

Hi Gary,
I am new to this so when you say "This would also be a Variety" does that mean yes this is a 1969-S DDO? Just want to understand correctly.
