Hi folks - thanks for having a look. I was getting a little bleary eyed last night but will have a closer look tonight and expand the picture portfolio. I was trying to assess which DDO it might be at Wexler's site in order to take more directed shots of key areas where markers/features are most prominent. I looked at IGWT quite a bit, but the die wash there is making identification difficult. Oddly, however, the fields in the coin are smooth and die scratches (in key areas)aren't available (at least at quick glance). Soooo....

With that said, I'm hopeful that the members here can, based on what they see, direct me to key areas that they might need to see to attribute this coin (assuming it is DDO). My feeling is that I have a late stage (perhaps D) DDO. Seems that I've been finding these lately for some reason. Finding earlier die state specimens sure would make identification easier. But where's the fun in that I suppose. Thanks again folks!

I don't know much about these 1972 pennies Rackster. I'd like to help. If you need more than Cwb's link for the 005 and 006, I have some pics for the 002, 003, and 008. I will post them if you can use them, just let me know.

I hope it works out Rackster, hopefully Coop will weigh in.

There are more photos of different 1972 DDs on this page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/dd51.html
If you click on an image, it will show more images.

Your first large photo of the date seems to show similarity to the DDO on the inside of the upper loop of the 2. It also looks like a very minor split on the outside of the right side of the 9 from top to bottom. 2nd large photo of the date seems to lose that detail. Only what a novice sees though.

Looking at the shape of the date devices, it kind of looks like Coppercoins 1DO-005 but also a bit like Wexlers -010. However, I can't find any of the markers on my coin.

About 9 o'clock on the loop of the 9 is a raised area. the 10 to 1 o'clock area on the loop looks a bit flattened in hand. And I don't see burnished material.

There is a contact mark at the top of the 2 near where the split in the device is. But it does not affect where the device meets the coin field.

IG of IGWT is thicker in the same spots as the -005, but the wash there is so grainy that it obliterates being able to see any faint knit lines on the devices like you see at Coppercoins. Is it thick from doubling...or deterioration.

Maybe there's a clue in the L and the E in LIBERTY. But the wash on the device may be obliterating the doubling there.




Thanks for the input folks.
