  There is a picture that gives a good example of strike doubling common to 1969 in Coppercoins new book (page 227). Have you checked his website?

  Thanks, and no I hav'nt been to Coppercoins site, I'll try using that name, and thats a picture I hav'nt seen before, but is described as a doubled strike concerning a doubled mintmark, I am unfamiliar with the designation MD though, thanks for the pik, I've come across an example thats in VF to XF, and shows doubling in the word "trust"
  and the Date but not on the mintmark, or Liberty, about the only part that resembles a true 69 s DDO is the date, with as my kid stated it the fat date.
  
  I'd post a pic but am ignorant on how to do so, and only have a scanner to work with.

  I believe there is just the one 1969-S DDO. So if you check the link that shylock posted, you'll see what the genuine article looks like. There was a lot of machine (strike) doubling also on 1969-S cents, but notice that on the genuine DDO, the secondary image is rounded. Machine doubling will be flat and shelf-like.
  
  By the way, I've never seen a photo of a 1969-S DDO that nice! Thanks for the photo, shylock.

  New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  Eastside:
  
  MD is just short for machine doubling. On this particular date (1969S) if you look at the one that shows machine doubling, you'll see doubling on the mint mark. On the 1969S DDO (doubled die obverse) the mint mark is not doubled.
