Thank you Slamnbass, CoinMaster, Rackster. I didn't even notice about the "d" in God. The coin appears to have a dirt spot right above the "d" but I took some more pictures. Hope it's helpful. I added in another clearer picture of the "In" and the "we" that might be better than the other ones I posted earlier.

It looks like master die doubling to me.

Thank you CoinMaster. Is that a good thing I hope? I went back after reading the other comments and took some pictures of the Liberty. I took three different ones I hope are clear enough to see.

Maybe it's just me,but I don't see any doubling. It's not a DDO and not poor man's doubling which is Die Deterioration. Need better pics. What are you using as a camera? John1

Thank you guys. John 1 I use my phone camera. It's hard focusing in though with this camera, or so it seems.
I'm not sure about the doubling on the reverse but it seemed to me there was more doubling on the back of the coin than on the front. I don't know how you all get the arrows on the pictures that would of been helpful in pointing out what I was questioning. How do you guys do that?
On the back there were a few things that had me questioning what I thought I may be seeing . On the "es" in states -in the middle of the E and the tip of the S.
The bottom of the T the "e" in cents at the bottom edge. The E & N tip of both, and the E&D bottom corner. Isn't that doubling?

Many 1972 pennies were made from dies that were made from a master die that was doubled. For these pennies the doubling is inherent, and renders their value minimal. I believe your coin to be one of these - Master Die Doubled. There are other 1972 pennies that have different doubling from the various dies they were struck with. Depending on their condition, and the die they were struck with, some command very desirable premiums.

Thank you CoinMaster. So which one would mine be considered do you think? Also I was reading about the 1972 last night and about them having very little value. Do you think mine holds any value if any? I'm kind of confused now with the 1972s :(

You could stand a trip or two to the photography forum. As near as I can tell from your photos and my limited skills, I think it is master die doubling - of which there are many. Supply and demand dictates a low premium. My guess is under five bucks, not bad for a penny, but not enough to give up your day job.
