So I'm working on rolling another box to put up on eBay, and as I'm wrapping a roll, I look down into my pile.. I notice a somewhat shinny penny looking at me.. It's a 1969 S, and don't think anything of it. About 15 minutes later I'm like "WHAT THE f#$K AM I DOING?" I go back through about $10 worth and FINALLY find it.
What are the chances? And how do I tell if it is a double die or not? I have no idea, but I know I couldn't let this get away.

take some pictures/scans of it for everyone here.
You can take a magnifying glass and look at the edges and things. (Sorry, this doesnt sound more helpful) HCBT should be able to further help. |

The real one is pretty obvious. I haven't found one yet either. I wonder if there were any in those OBW rolls and tubes of 1969-S cents I sent 2cents last year?  |

Not that it matters now, but for future reference the easiest way to take a fair quality "picture" of a penny is to throw it in a scanner. Set your scanner to do a high resolution scan and let her rip. The results should be plenty good enough to show others the more obvious of the double die errors.
