Also recommend you get the Red Book (US Coins).

And the Cherrypickers’ Guide

You can check on the Internet to find pics of the known DD and compare yours to that one,

Some doubled dies have extreme and easy to see doubling and others not so much.

Good information above.

Yours, of course, is no match. You can probably tell you have the real deal at arms length for the 1969-s ddo.
It is also prohibitively rare, and you will probably have a better chance at being struck by lightening this evening than finding a genuine example in your change.
This is one of those coins ALL new searchers think has crossed their loupe. And for 2 good reasons:
1. It is thousands of dollars
2. This date is infamous for mechanical doubling.

Welcome to forum, and good luck on the hunt

If you're looking for the valuable one, you don't have it. It is easily visible

Hi and Welcome to School! I say school because you'll be taught in many areas. Such as, in ethics, manners and in business. Like mentioned in a earlier post, you did come to the right place to learn. Many members here have a vast amount of knowledge. Mostly in coins. Please don't be afraid to ask any questions and post often. Don't be a stranger and most of all, have FUN! I see in your early posts you already had a popular question in the variety aspect. Cool! I too love the variety/error coins. Collecting and hunting these down are a lot of fun. It adds excitement to the game. By you joining our Forum, you'll learn that you came into a hobby with two worlds. One, just collecting coins and learning about them but also, two,that you entered the interest of the Cherry Picker's standpoint. Here, you have the best of both worlds. That particular Cent you brought up is just one of thee "Elite". One of the fantastic jewels of Cherry picking. Maybe one day you will pick one (1969s DD Cent) from the bunch? Great suggestions posted above. Esp. in purchasing those books. They absolutely will help you.
Once again, welcome to the Forum.-joey

The odds of finding a 1969S doubled die are so small that the chance is essentially 0%.

But, I assume there might/must be another out there somewhere, and if you don't look you wont find it. The best part is you might find some other good stuff while looking.

Asking questions here will get you good answers, but also invest in some books and compile a list of reference websites as well. Good luck in your searches...Cheers, RickO
