Gary W New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 10:53 am I didn't load this one until after watching coops video. Hopefully I actually called one right. Edited by Gary W 04/23/2016 12:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 12:54 pm Hi Gary - the pictures are a little blurry, but you can see the flat-shelf typical to MD. It is important to keep in mind that a coin can be doubled and also have MD. Clearer pictures would help, but this appears to be an extreme case of MD. This was pretty typical for that year.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 1:35 pm Note on the date how the damage to the devices are uneven and the contour of the devices are no longer there on those areas. They were damaged after the strike. A hop, bounce after the strike by die movement altered those devices. This one may have been one of the master die doubled examples which are common as they were from all three mint mints. Just worth copper scrap melt. Report this Post to the Staff

You probably did call it right Gary. It probably is an actual DDO. Unfortunately, the dies for 1972 received their doubling from the master die which meant there were a lot of them. Even more unfortunately, the die jumped a little upon striking this one. Fortunately, though you should be able to find a good example of a DDO for this year, with relative ease.
