I found this 1972 cent last night, I think it is a DDO: I'd love other opinions. The coin's condition is worse than I would have hoped, but it is still a cool find if it is the real McCoy.

It is a DDO. Try matching it on CC's site. Nice.

It looks like die #2 but die #7 is really close too. Is there a die dot in Lincoln's lips? If there is it is die #7.

Great find!

I should have uploaded a full view of both sides of the coin when I first posted this. I was having technical difficulties at the time, but, here they are:

Check each device to see which one is a match. Note the exact shapes of the devices to compare with your coin.

Thanks Coop that helped me determine that it is, as I had hoped, the 002 variety. It is uncanny how similar those examples are, but the "L" and "R" in LIBERTY nailed the differentiation for me, and my coin was very clear in that regard.
