Congrats and it does appear that you found a DDO.
I haven't compared to see which DDO it is but I usually start looking at -003 or -008 @ variety vista since they seem to be the most prevalent.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

It's definitely a DDO, and it is one of those mentioned by Petespockets55.

Thanks petespocket55! so far, its looking like a possible -008, I do see a light lip on the second T. the S and U make it are to match up, but its spot on with the T's and R

I am thinking FS-108 as well
Probably late die state (LDS)...
Are you able to see any of the markers for LDS (Reverse, Two small die gouges in the field near FG)?

Igwt79, I was first thinking it was the -08 but my T in trust does not match the wexlers -08 T, were as my T looks more closer to the -03. what gave it away to most likely being a -03 stage A is my cone had this die crack?

which matches up to the example in wexlers. my coin is lacking the later die wear down stages, and the letters that are not to damaged still show crisp lines as opposed to more rounded.

You may be correct... You have the coin in hand.

Wexler's does have quite a number of die markers for 003 stage A, both obverse and reverse... may be tough to find depending on the condition / circulation wear on your coin, but if you are able to find more that would definitely help attribute it. Good job hunting this DDO attribution down, using all the reference sites

Are you able to find any other markers obverse or reverse as listed on Wexler's for 003 stage A?

Either way great find!

Nice to find a 72 DDO - but not the "Big One" so not worth the cost of grading.
