Hi guys. I was going through some change that I found in a dumpster a year and a half ago and came across this! Boy did I jump in joy! I cannot find it on LCR, so I'm trying to identify it and figure out prospective value. I'm seeing the doubling for the date, very clear on all numbers. Any help is greatly appreciated.  |

Okay so it's no a DDO? I still don't quite understand all that. So it was just stamped twice or? |

Yes thats Machine Doubling on Doubled dies you will see mostly that it doesn't look flat but rather a part of the actual serif. Machine Doubling looks more like a shadow of that number/letter. Doubled dies look like an actual double of the letter/number. |

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.
