Better images might show the die state. It looks like a better one. A lot of these are LDS and VLDS. But you coin looks like a MDS or better. The images block me from see which. Nice find.

Coop, sorry on the pictures. I took over 40 to get these and then the time to go through them all. I'm looking into a "USB" camera like what I've read on here.
"Some have asked about my images I use and I'm glad to say, I've completed an educational DVD of these. Ask if you are interested."
YES COOP, I AM INTERESTED....

Coop, thank you VERY much.
Does the DVD recommend any close up/macro USB or DSLR cameras, obviously by your Avatar you using something completely different than I. I'm also trying to research "die state" today on here from older posts. If your meaning clarity, there's no grease filled areas on the coin either on the Obverse or Reverse.

I use a camera with a macro lens and a microscope. I take the images through the microscope. It has worked as a great combination for many years. But that subject is not covered in the DVD. Maybe I should add it to future updates. But here is what I use for micro photos:  Note the 3.5X-35X zoom. Most microscopes are too strong. A single power scope will only let you take one shot. The zoom allows you to get the shot you want. |

grandcap74, You'll really enjoy the DVD, I have learned so much it has greatly reduced the number of dumb questions I post. It truly has incredible photography and information. Congrats on the find, I'm still looking for one.  |

Sorry, we've been out all day.
Coop, that microscope setup is fantastic, and also scares the !*&% out of me. I don't know where to even start on something like this, but I WANT TOOOOOOO. Can't wait for the DVD and if it's okay, I may have more questions if I can email you on that?
Looking at that, I feel like I'm back in Organic Chemistry (which I loathed by the way :-)
Thanks again.

its not like a standard 95 DDO that I have seen. the ones that I see frequently do not have the spread of your coin and I have not seen it effect the in god we trust. there are several doubleD die varieties for that year and yours may be a nicer variety. congrates on this find. |

When the 55 double die was discovered people were giving them away at the time coin collectors considered them as an oddity and did not consider them as a collector coin and then the 72 came out and collectors said there wasn't the spread that they had seen with the 55 that you did not need to magnify the 55 like you have to do with the 72. This is just what I would do and would never suggest for you to do. I would go ahead and have it encapsulated for today would be cheaper I am sure than twenty years from now. I would hold on to it for about twenty to thirty years from now. Depending upon my age at the time. Then I would proceed to see what is the attitude of the collecting community at that time. Just what I would do based on my experience. Great Find.

Nice find! I also agree that it's not worth the money to have it graded.
Appears to be in the AU range.
