Hello all,

I posted this question already, but the photos I provided were not great. Im hoping these will be a little bit better. I found this 1969 D while coin roll hunting.

It has a weird error going on the obverse, some type of double rimming. I don't know how much that would be worth, just wish it didn't have that ding on the right side. But I flipped it over, and ion the back, I didn't see initials where they usually are. Am I seeing this right? Is this an example of the 1969 D without initials? I don't know much about them, only heard that they exist. I tried to get a photo of what I saw under the microscope. It is on the right side of the reverse where the initials usually would be. It is at 40x magnification. It's not the best photo, but I tried to get what im seeing.

If anyone could help me identify if this is what I think it is, and how much it might be worth, as well as what the error is and how much that could be worth, I would appreciate it. If you have any questions about it, let me know. Thanks guys.
 

I see a lump there where the initials are supposed to be, so, It's probably just a result of the mis-aligned dies and some circulation wear. Maybe a slightly greased filled die. The E on the obverse might be a filled die also, but, there's more damage on that side too. I don't think that it will bring any major premium in value other than the obvious double rim. Even that won't boost the value much considering the damage in various areas of the coin. IMO, it would cost way more to get it slabbed than the coin is worth.

I wouldn't in any way call it rare, the rim is from a tilted die and is a pretty common occurrence. No value for this. You really need someone with Lincoln variety experience for the missing FG. I would try one of the dedicated Lincoln collector groups online. Google it and you'll find them. I don't think there is a lot of value for this but may be some premium.
