Possibly A '72 DDO?

As long as you don't try to deceive anyone, there is nothing wrong with listing this coin on ebay. Just make sure to let folks know it's not a doubled die. Some people, obviously, collect MD. If not, coins listed as Machine Doubling wouldn't sell for what they do. There are a lot of "regular" collectors that think people that collect doubled dies & RPMs are crazy. Some people collect chips and cracks. If you label it correctly and someone gives you $5 for it, it is a 100% fact that it isn't only worth 1 cent. It's worth $5.

Yeah, I'm certainly not interested in hurting this hobby. I'm just getting into it, and I really enjoy it. I definitely get your point.

cbarkdul-this is a great hobby and its great that you are interested in it. Identifying errors/varieties will get easier the more you hunt, the more you read about them and the more questions you ask. If errors were easy to find they would not be valuable. I still remember the first Double Die I found. I still own it. If you are trying to make money on hunting coins it is not easy to do it.

For Example http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-S-BU-L...em23385d543a

If you search Machine Doubling not one coin has a bid on it. If you search Doubled Die you will find lots of people that use that term with Machine Doubling to deceive.

Jay- "There are a lot of "regular" collectors that think people that collect doubled dies & RPMs are crazy."

Where did you get this "fact"? To compare RPMs/Doubled Dies which are genuine repeatable varieties to Machine Doubling which occurs when dies are loose and then dismiss them as they were the same with a false statement is not right.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I actually enjoy this hobby and do not appreciate all the people that are being taken advantage of on ebay buying something they think is collectible only to find out they have a normal within mint tolerance coin. My 12 year old nephew did buy a coin from a deceptive ebay auction. He has since learned a lot more about errors/varieties and asks more questions to his Uncle before he bids on coins.

I am not going to comment on this further. Everyone can do what they want to do. But I have never met anyone who intentionally collects MD. I also have never been to a coin shop that sells coins labeled Machine Doubling.

Dude I never said varieties and errors are the same. I know the difference. I never said MD and doubled dies were the same. I know the difference. And yes, some dealers look down on variety collectors. That is fact. Some people collect MD. That is fact. If not coins labeled as so would not sell for $13 and more. I hate it that you don't like it but it is fact. Some people collect what they like. Not everyone tries to make money on coins. Some collect for sheer enjoyment. You don't seem to have a problem with die damage being worth something. You asked twice how much a coin with Feeder Finger Damage is. I'm done now too. No reason getting upset with someone that has met every collector on the planet.

Hate to spoil the party but this coin is actually a doubled die, the catch is that it is master die doubling seen on about half of the 1972s. But, what is seen on the date is Machine Doubling.

Master die doubling created many dies from all three mints. So a large percentage of the dies have this. Making them not collectable because so many have this doubling.

We all do.

I agree jay42! If someone wants to buy it so be it-it is a cool coin-and how can someone say this is a perfectly normal coin and why sell it on ebay? It's obviously not normal-
