albertharris Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 02/16/2014 2:26 pm Your pics are good enough for me to say I see what you see. When I post pennies with minor serifs as shown, coin community forum members agree it is a double die if listed on copper coins. If not listed, it's too minor to classify as a double die. I think it is best said, most coin dealers will not buy it unless it is a 1955, 1995, 1972, or clearly a double die that they can buy cheap and resale it for a profit. As a collector I think you found a double die, maybe so minor its not worth it to coin dealers. With that said, nice find Report this Post to the Staff
mixyslicks Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 02/16/2014 4:36 pm Thank you for the positive feedback. If I can anything, the only thing harder to obtain than a double die is positive feedback on your finds. I'm not looking to sell my coins I am just mainly looking to put a label on them for future reference. If anything my hobby is not so much a hobby but more on the side of an addiction, lol. Thank you again and there will be many many more questions to come. Report this Post to the Staff
jay4202472000 Pillar of the Community United States 853 Posts	Posted 02/16/2014 6:19 pm Looks like the master die doubling commonly found on the 1972's from all three mints. While it is a doubled die, it commands no premium as it is found on 50-60% of all 1972 cents minted. Report this Post to the Staff
