This is a 1972 cent I saved when I use to roll search (years ago,mid 80's)looking for the 72DD and 83Reverse DD.
I looked in The Lincoln Cent Resource site, but I need help in placing this variety or is it a sub variety? I can only see the "In God We Trust" doubling, the date and liberty look normal.
So...Is it a sub variety of the 1972P-1DO-008?
Any help in Identifying is appreciated, throwing this out to the LC experts!
@ willy13, upon looking with a 16x loupe I do see doubling at the lower part of the "L" in Liberty and also on the lower parts of the "B" and "R". I still do not see any doubling at the date.
@scurry64, the obverse looks like 1972P-1DO-003 as you referenced but I see no diagnostics on the reverse when comparing the photo's on the copper coin site.
let me see if I can get some larger photos at an angle for the liberty. It's hard to get the right angle. I will try some reverse pics if it helps also.
Thanks Maineman75. After viewing the link you referred,the 003 and 008 look the same to me. I can see why its hard to pin it down to one or the other. Either one is close enough for me.
