Aaron1978 Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 12:53 pm Hello, found this 1972 Lincoln Cent in the parking lot. I don't know if it is a DDO or what. Any help would be great! Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 1:01 pm Interesting pick - would be a neat story about a penny worth picking off the ground. It doesn't look like the famous double die, but some kind of doubling looks to be present. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 1:39 pm It is a DDO but not one of the biggies. In that condition it's nothing more then a hole filler. Nice find though. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 4:00 pm I don't think it is 008. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Rollsearcher37 Pillar of the Community United States 1295 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 4:34 pm Nice find It's funny, I found a 1972 DDO in a roll just a couple of days ago. I went on the Lincoln Cent Resource, and compared yours with the examples. I think it is die 6, as yours doesn't have much doubling on Liberty or the date. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/...972ddo6.html Edited by Rollsearcher37 02/24/2014 4:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jay4202472000 Pillar of the Community United States 853 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 7:46 pm I see doubling on Liberty and the Date. I think it's 008. I think you can barely make out the gouge above the last T in Trust. Too bad its so badly damaged. I wonder how many folks walked by that coin. Report this Post to the Staff
