Are you asking a question? Just guessing, but due to the poor quality pics.,I think the value is $.01. I would call this a poor,poor-man's DDO. There are countless numbers of this type in circ. |

Sorry about the glare, CoinHI, the flip makes it very hard to take good photos with my USB mic. And, no, RobertRansom, the photos aren't great, but I'm very certain this is a DDO. Take a closer look at "GOD" and the "L" of liberty. Virtually certain it's DDO-007, since I also identified some die markers. Edited by SamCoin

 To CCF RobertRanson. I am sorry, but you're wrong. It's clearly a DDO and is worth way more than a Cent. Look again. Nice find Sam! Errers and Varietys.

Congrats SamCoin Excellent doubled die. Last year I have found 2,3, & 7. Maybe this year I can find 5,6, & 8.  |

Thanks, Levels, but I can really take no credit. This is one of a bunch of 1972 DDOs my dad found coin roll hunting as a teenager (along with several MD examples that he misidentified as DDOs). I've just been going through his collection and attributing the die varieties/relabeling the MD coins (still keeping them in flips since they're mostly MS coins and I like keeping the collection intact as assembled). I've identified two DDO-008s, one DDO-007, three DDO-003s, and one DDO-002. Planning to upload pics of a DDO-003 and DDO-002 when I have time.

Re-read my post again. I agreed it was a DDO, however I only see a "poor man's DDO. Extremely weak strike, lots of wear and Liberty and the date are? So, maybe a buck or two. |

Haha okay, Greasy, I'll get to work on it, I do have the time now that it's the apocalypse lol. What implement do you suggest using to flatten them without mashing up the flips? @RobertRansom, sorry, but you're just wrong. "Poor man's DDO" is the term used for Die Deterioration Doubling or Machine Doubling. This is a true doubled die, it's just not the most famous DDO-001 from 1972 that most people are familiar with. There were about 10 recognized doubled dies made that year in the Philly mint, and this is the one listed as DDO-007 by CONECA. You also said it was worth $.01, which is also extremely wrong. I'm not that knowledgeable about coin values, since I've never bought or sold any and prefer to just search through my change for oddities, but I do know this is at least a $10 coin in this condition, and probably more.

You guys are splitting hairs. You missed the point entirely. I have sorted through many 1972's over the years and solid DDO's are almost like hen's teeth. I found some that exhibited good overlapped doubling of "IGWT", a few with minor "Lib" doubling and the same for the date, but I have yet to find one that exhibits doubling of all three without using high resolution magnification. My point is simply this; A true DDO that is valued highly is one that exhibits obvious strong double characters on the date, Liberty and IGWT and can be viewed with the naked or bespectacled eye. That is what commands the bucks. but the majority of those are graded near the mid range of MS. Lastly, "Poorman's DDO was not used to demean SamCoin, rather it was my poor choice of words to describe a DDO that can be purchased without a large expenditure of Benjamins. Ps. Ten bucks might be on the high side. |

RobertRansom, you sound like you have been around for a while and are knowledgeable but your definition of "Poor man's DDO" is confusing to newer collectors when they hear it used for a true DDO. Here is a link for those newer members that need clarification on the definition of "Poor Man's DDO" http://www.lincolncentforum.com/ter...logy-list-p/Samcoin and others are not splitting hairs and are correct. (And please don't feel like we're "piling on".) I've been called out before, and rightly so, for using my "slang" terms in making replies. It isn't a criticism of me or you but more of trying to keep the information consistent for newer collectors. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Will do, greasy. Your terminology is a little confusing, Robert. Even an excellent strike from some of the 1972 DDO dies wouldn't be visible to the naked eye without a lot of squinting, but they can still be worth a good chunk of money, and are certainly worth above face (you opened by claiming it was a $.01 coin, so yeah, kind of hard not to assume you meant it was MD/DDD, since obviously a true DDO imparts value).
