That is a doubled die, and is very likely one of the known lesser dies, either #3 or #8. The coin is roughly EF45, and would sell in the neighborhood of $10 if offered at retail. The values of the 1972 doubled dies have gone up considerably in the last 5-10 years. Die #2 is now worth what die #1 was worth in 1990 - about $200. Dies #3 and #8 commonly sell for $30-$50 in BU. These used to be $5 coins in BU if that, but not any more.
