You have a machine damaged, master die doubled coin. A larger percentage of coins from this year look like yours. (except of the MD) There is no premium for this as it is common.

WDDO-013 is a tough one to call from photographs. Did you check for the reverse die marker between the O & N of ONE? Your coin does show master die doubling, but so does the WDDO-001, along with Mechanical Doubling. |

Your coin may be WDDO-013, it is hard to see die markers on a picture of a circulated coin.
It would even be difficult to see the doubling on the date.
Try to move the light source and take another photo or two, post them and let us see the coin from a new angle.

I just can't tell from your pictures.
The red arrow you have between the O & N is not pointing at die markers, that is too low.
The angle that the photo was taken is making it very difficult to do an overlay of the different coins to see if they match or not.
The lighting is also an issue.
I would hang onto it for now.
As far as value goes if it does turn out to be WDDO-013, I'm not sure, but I do know that some of the minor doubled dies from 1972 will sell for around $5.00 at online auction.

CWB or coop...what would cause the tripled effect seen on OP's 2. The shelving effect is uneven for each layer. Is that a clogged die in stairstep? here's some of my MD for 72 Mechanical Doubling is caused from a movement of either the die or the coin during the striking process. Sometimes the movement can be in different directions, leaving doubling on different sides of the devices, sometimes it is limited to one direction. It can move more than once, creating a tripled image of the devices or even a quadrupling of them. It can affect only some of the design or many parts of it, depending on how much movement was involved. Depending on what caused the movement, many coins can be minted with similar doubling, or tripling as in this case. |
