I recently found a 1972 Lincoln Cent that has (at least in my own uneducated opinion) a strong doubled die obverse mostly showing on the 972 of the date and although it is fairly worn I think I see some doubling in liberty as well, posibly split serriffs on the T? Anyways I would love some opinions here. I have looked at the many 1972 DDO variations and can't find a match to this coin. And if it is the real deal what in your opinion should I do next? Pocket it, send it to get slabbed, sell it? Any advice or info would be much appreciated. I will attach some pictures. I do apologise for the qaulity it was the best I could manage on my phone. It is hard to the capture the details and the pictures don't really do the date doubling jusitce. Report this Post to the Staff

MTPocketFinds New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 03/20/2018 2:17 pm Thanks for the replies and info I appreciate your time, I will try to get one more pics of the date in profile. I can't disagree as I'm not super familiar with it all but the doubling on date is not a shelf but full height so I can't see it being Machine Doubling. Is a worn die capable of producing such a large double like on the 2? Again it's hard to see in pics so I will try to get a better shot when I am home tomorrow. Thanks again for your help I won't bother with getting it graded or anything but still a keeper in my eyes. Report this Post to the Staff
