Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4003 Posts	Posted Yesterday 3:09 pm I see a few that are similar to my doubling but I can't find any of the identifying markers that go along with it. Any help would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1847 Posts	Posted Yesterday 3:22 pm Can't help specifically with your penny, but I had sent one in for attribution a while back: came back as a doubled master die. Here's part of what John wrote back to me: "I always look for the die gouge inside the upper S in TRUST to identify this one." (to ID it as the doubled master) My pic of the die gouge isn't very good in my post, but at least it will give you the location to look. https://goccf.com/t/488645&SearchTerms=1972,penny, DDO Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4003 Posts	Posted Yesterday 3:28 pm Thanks snailking. I am not seeing that gouge though. I also meant to apologize for my photography skills (or lack of). Edited by Scooby Due Yesterday 3:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2889 Posts	Posted Yesterday 3:38 pm Looks like WDDO-007 to me https://doubleddie.com//memorial-ce...d-dies-1972/ but lets see what others have to say. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6904 Posts	Posted Yesterday 4:24 pm Your phone is too close to the coin to focus properly. You can't fill the whole frame with the coin. It works much better if you back off, get the coin in proper focus, and then crop the image. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79381 Posts	Posted Yesterday 5:48 pm Back to CCF! I'm pretty sure it's a DDO, but I'm not sure which one it is. The pictures aren't clear enough to see the doubling clearly. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 107650 Posts	Posted Yesterday 6:39 pm to CCF wow, your close up images are really no good to help you - it is like looking into a fog bank. I use my cell phone to get my image but I hold my phone about a foot and a half, then zoom in up to a factor of about 4 or 5. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Centwise New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted Today 1H 38M ago It looks like IGWT is doubled in the CCW direction. So look at DDOs 2,4,5 & 7 -- Likely #2 or #7 but, if it turns out to be #4 then rejoice, because that one is rare. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- edit: looks like Coin rejector might have nailed it [#7] Wexler/VarietyVista marker: die dot below N in UNUM, check for the lower lip die dot Edited by Centwise Today 43M ago Report this Post to the Staff

Very easy to see, even in very worn coins and dies. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 9011 Posts	Posted Today 19M ago Definitely a counterclockwise rotated doubled die though. Better pics would be great. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- Today 14M ago Report this Post to the Staff
