Where did you find this? I am looking but can't find it like anywhere. Most of the ones I'm seeing have it doubled in LIBERTY and other places.

Eh that's okay. It was a stellar find and it was pretty sweet to find my first one like that.

Machine Doubling happens very frequently as a result of a loose die on the coining press. In some years thay are more common than others. 1972 happens to be a year in which they are exceedingly common. They are caused by a different process than doubled dies, they look different from doubled dies, and their value certainly reflects that. Machine Doubling is considered "non-collectible doubling" and has no value above that of any other normal coin for the year and grade - in this case, one cent.

numismo, when I was active in doing it, which was probably for six months just on the weekends, I made about 6 or 7 thousand dollars, and found a lot of things that I needed or wanted and still use today.

Theres alot of people that I know dumpster dive in the cities. Its unreal what kind of antiques and vintages people throw away. I've never tried it for its dangerous with druggies throwing needles and stuff in the dumpsters.

My favorite find was a 2001 ASE that I found sitting in a dumpster. I go through dumpsters on a base so I don't have the problem with druggies, just nasty sex toy crap. But it's been worth it. |
