    It is not DDO-001 (the big one). Hard to tell for sure from those photos if it's DDO-002.

    I never thought I'd say this on the Forums, but could you post some images that aren't as close up?

    If this were a '69-S DDO, you would not need close up shots to see the doubling and a cell phone shot from a foot above the coin would easily image it. But keep on looking, there's bound to be a few more out there!

    I'm not the die variety specialist, but
    that's obviously not the 69-S DDO.

    Whatever extra images you see in the
    150 power close ups (just kidding!) seems
    to be just metal flow - not a minor DD,
    not ejection/mechanical doubling, etc.

    Don't know what power magnification you're
    using, but you'll find something 'different'
    on almost any coin with that kind of magnification.

    As mentioned, keep looking - always good experience.

    Not 150x Fred, more like 5000x! Looks like pictures of the Moon. LOL
    One More Thing... Obviously NOT the 1969s Variety. :)

    It's great to be enthusiastic, and I applaud your energy and enthusiasm.
    However, sometimes one sees what one wants to see, and as Fred pointed out, if you scrutinize any coin to the magnification that you have, you are bound to find something.
    If you can't see it with a 20x or 30x loupe even, it's most likely not worth pursuing.
