imagecoins Valued Member United States 336 Posts	Posted 05/21/2026 6:35 pm HI, I believe this is the 1972S-1DO-003? Looks like it has that same bar on the 2. What is happening to the 7 also? Is that a hit that make the top half looks like it has a twist to it? Thanks Edited by imagecoins 05/21/2026 6:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Everything has to match. https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=mds Master Die Doubling is also known for this year and mint. https://doubleddie.com/823839.html Master Die Doubling is very common and has no premium.

Thanks Yes - metal movement from a hit. You can see the 9 and top part of the 2 were also flattened from the hit.......... Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8724 Posts	Posted 05/21/2026 10:28 pm I see absolutely no evidence of a doubled die here but to let you know, it is definitely not a doubled master die either. Below is a pic of yours next to Wexler's example of a doubled master die. They point out the extra material inside of the letters but that is not the easiest way to discern between a regular die and the DMD, all you have to do is look for the slope on the top of the R and the B, if it's there then it's a DMD and you can easily see it on the worst examples. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1235 Posts	Posted 05/22/2026 08:28 am Yes, very nice -makecents- Also, when I sent a '72 in for attribution (which WAS a DMD), John sent me this info regarding identifying it as a DMD "I always look for the die gouge inside the upper S in TRUST to identify this one."
