I deal mainly in US mint errors and Varieties but stumbled across this the other day at the coin shop. Is this possibly the 1972 Ghost Dollar?    |

In my (very) limited experience, the doubling is most obvious along the bottoms of the arms extended forward to hold the ends of the paddles. I'm not seeing that in the picture.

I don't think its one, but it is a cool coin though, I have a 72 silver dollar as a pocket piece.  |

I don't see any trace of doubling on the coin in question.

It might be easier to see if you can get a picture closer up to their arms.

I guess $100 is all we have to go by. Unless anyone knows if they are lesser or greater in value in today's market.

That looks like it. I have a couple for other years but not this one. Didn't know they had a nickname until this thread though.

This particular type occurs in the specimen silver struck coins, right? I have never seen a 1972 nickel dollar like that (although you can find a doubled date).
