I will take your word for it that there are not many 69 DDO's out there. You and everyone else involved in this thread knows way more about Lincolns than I do. There is no way to prove one way or another if there are or are not bags of them out there somewhere. Only time will tell.
As for comparing the 69 DDO to the 74-cc dime......I never put error coins up there with actual date and mint mark coins of any series. But that is just me. There are millions of 69-S's but only a few DDO, but there are only a few 74-cc dimes period.
Sorry if I offended any Lincoln Cent collectors. That was not my intent.
DIMEMAN - I recently saw an 1874 cc dime in ms 63 and got VERY EXCITED. I also collect Barber dimes and I very much appreciate Seated dimes.
Simply put there is no non error Lincoln Memorial Cent that is rare. There are only error Lincoln Memorial cents which are rare and so that is why I only collect Lincoln Memorial errors. The 1969S DDO is the rarest Lincoln Memorial cent period. Its value surpasses the entire Lincoln Memorial Cent series together.
