chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 11:44 pm I can not believe I actually found one of these before an AM but I like it. The date does not appear to be affected "In God We Trust" is. What do you guys think? I want to thank Coop and the rest of you contributes to the forum for all the cool pics and Illustrations that helped me identify this. I started a post on the roll hunting forum because I started searching a $25 box of pennys today, so please do not remove this thread as this thread is to confirm my opinion that this coin is in fact a DD, If not I am really embarrassed.

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 12:04 am That's a dandy! I think it's 002, can you check the die markers? Also, Edited by CaptainFwiffo 05/10/2012 12:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 12:07 am I do not see the DD in the date do you? Report this Post to the Staff
chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 12:14 am I can not see the doubling in Liberty, I guess I should upload a pic of that part to but that will have to wait until tomorrow. Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 12:34 am I see the thickening of the date, the wear makes it less obvious I think. It's possible it's a different doubled die though, there are several for that date. Report this Post to the Staff
chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 08:24 am I do not believe that it is the 002 because of the you inside you is a bit different. Because of the wear to this coin, I can not see those die markers, they are fine scratches. I thought that since it was minted in Denver that would narrow it down for us but I can't figure it out.

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 1:50 pm It doesn't look like any on copper coins. Maybe it is a new one? Report this Post to the Staff
chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 4:47 pm I am trying my best not to be upset about the condition, it is the first true doubled die that I have ever found and it sure beats Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 6:31 pm The mint mark location is dead on for 1972D-1DO-002. An overlay confirms it. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=lds Report this Post to the Staff
chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 7:33 pm Well at least its worth more than a penny, thanks for all of the help identifying this piece guys. Since the value is not all that much I am going to use some acetone on it this weekend and put it in a 2x2. Report this Post to the Staff
