Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 3:35 pm Ya found one man! Woohoo! Now figure out which one, the 003 or 008. A bit beat up but see the DDO on IGWT? THATS a DDO! It is easy to tell the difference between these two, they are similar except the lower part of 2, thicker 1972-1MM-008. Congrats! https://coppercoins.com/lincoln/die...ie_state=lds Edited by Crazyb0 05/26/2018 3:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Chavez Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 3:59 pm Hey crazyb, my guess based of Wexler a info would be 1972P-1DO-008. Would you agree? What condition would you put this? Report this Post to the Staff

Chavez Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 8:40 pm Would this DDO look better in a slab? I know they say don't clean an error. Anything I can do to spruce it up? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 9:12 pm Its so damaged, even professional conservation and slabbing expense isn't worth the cost, value isn't there. Give it a good acetone bath and rinse then put in a 2x2 or flip for the future. I have one similar in my Whitman album in the 1972 doubled die hole, it may not be THE big one but it is a 72 DDO!

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74846 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 9:30 pm The only thing that's proven safe to use is Acetone and Verdi-Care. Only those 2 are safe. If you try to use anything else, it will harm the coin and strip the Patina off of the coins surfaces. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/27/2018 5:26 pm I would leave it as it is. Who knows what ill happen in 10 years and they will look at their coins and say "I shouldn't have done that." On valuable coins I don't touch them. Too much can be lost doing the wrong thing.

Chavez Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 05/27/2018 6:14 pm Coop, that's just the thing. I don't know whether or not it holds a decent value for this error. Can't seem to find much on possible value. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/27/2018 6:21 pm If you used the coppercoins site, it gives you a guesstimate value, you generally see these a a lot less than this price. Remember yours is a lower grade, at best its $2, not a big deal. https://coppercoins.com/lincoln/die...ie_state=lds Report this Post to the Staff
