    Welcome to the forum.

    That is not the rare/valuable DDO. Here is what they look like: https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1969-s-1c-ddo-fs-101-028-bn/37994/55

    That is mechanical doubling. Very common on cents of that era.

    Not even the best example of Mechanical Doubling.

    Take a look at the photo link MFeld provided, to see
    what the real coin looks like.

    Just to add, it has to match the pics exactly to be the known DD.

    Ok thank you! I appreciate the feed back! So it has to be very obvious?

    You think the OP needs to see a doctor? ;)

    Some DDs are more obvious than others, but a DD for a particular year/mm must match the known example(s) exactly.

    For 1969S, the DD is very extreme.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Keep at it cause you never know what’s around the corner.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Try going to Varietyvista.com to check for high quality images of 20th century doubled dies. You can verify them there.

    And by the way-welcome!
