1969S

I know this is cool just because of the year and mint mark. But I've read it could be of value. Does anyone have any suggestions? Sorry if the pics don't do it justice.

    There were lots of 1969-S cents minted. A very, very small amount were minted from a die that was doubled and those are the valuable ones. @Hemispherical posted a good pic of the doubled die. Unless your coin EXACTLY matches the picture,you don't have it (and you don't)

    Your coin is in nice condition and would make a nice addition to an album set. However, it really isn't worth anything above face value
