I cant find any doubling on the W in WE or any of the die markers of any of the DDO found in coppercoins.

This looks allot like a few 72's I found recently that were a form of the non-collectable DDO variety. Do you see a sharpe die gouge in the tail of the 2, not at the tip but in the middle? It looks like the T's are bolder to, just like jcuve told me about on my post on coppercoins. Can you get better pictures of the 2 for me please and Liberty, even if its broken into sections, your pics are blurry.

But I would put money on the fact that this coin is one of what the experts call master die doubling:

Peaceman - your not going to like this, I know I did not and had a hard time with understanding it but over half of the "72"s minted had a form of doubling that is very common and not of the collectable variety we like so much. I know this because I found two of them just like this one in the last few days and I bet that it matches die markers on my coins. There was some engraver die damage on mine that appear to match yours to. From what I have learned so far, this type of variety is very common and may have been the result of an engraver re-tooling the master die and a combination of this die creating some hub doubling but there are just so many of them 60% of all 1972 cents is what I was told and that just makes the whole lot of this type to common to collect. I hope that helps you because this particular coin used to drive me nuts but no more. If you don't believe me ask these guys, cause they told me all about it: simonm, seal006, jcuve and Coop. Now there are some DDOs from 72 that are very collectable, sorry but I do not think your is one of them.

If your coin has this doubling, then it is master die doubling. I think I see it on your images:
