sonchild Valued Member United States 83 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 10:39 pm Nice clear photos. That isn't the 1972 DDO everyone looks for, that looks to be just mechanical doubling/ Die Deterioration. Good eye and a neat find either way. Edited by sonchild 08/21/2016 10:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 11:13 pm That is master die doubling. It is common on the 1972 Lincoln cents. At least half of the 1972 cents have this doubling. It doesn't make them any more valuable than any other 1972 cent. Edited by cwb 08/21/2016 11:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 11:22 pm There are some more examples of this type of doubling and a better explanation on this page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/doubledDies.html Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 11:54 pm If you check other areas of your coin will also find these: It is a doubled die, (master die doubling) but it is so common a very large percentage of dies had this issue from all three mints. So they are common. Report this Post to the Staff

That website CWB is great thank you for telling me about it. I'm going to check the rest of my coin right now for the other places you showed me. Thank you Coop. Report this Post to the Staff
