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 |

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

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.

 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.

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. |

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

Very easy to see, even in very worn coins and dies.  -makecents-

Definitely a counterclockwise rotated doubled die though. Better pics would be great.

Those pictures are better. Thank you, Scooby Due.  I'm thinking that you have WDDO-007. Make sure to match the known die markers for WDDO-007. Errers and Varietys.

That's my problem. I can't find any die markers that match any of the DDO's. |

It's possible that it could be a different die stage.
Errers and Varietys.
