Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 09/13/2018 11:49 am I found this 1972 P LMC and while I know for the most part they all for that year are doubled. This cent is a little different as it doesn't show that same common doubling that they do. The G is thicker at the bottom and while the pics didn't pick it up there is a slight notch on the east side of the devise. It shows notching on the O and extra thickness and notching halfway up it. The D shows slight notching on the east side of the devise. Is this just from DDD? The closest thing I can match it to is the DDO-005 but either I cant find the Die markers or circulation has smoothed them out. Could this be a different stage that there are no pics of? I am completely stumped and am in need of some insight. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/13/2018 1:32 pm The good news is it's not MDD! Bad news is, ain't a DDO at lol. John1 has it, the outer bevel towards the rim has been polished down so that the depth of the upper device portions are skinnier. Edited by Crazyb0 09/13/2018 1:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/13/2018 2:44 pm Jim, when referring to MDD on the 1972's, I always first look at the left uprights of the you and the D, if there is a doubling going NW on the U, and a notch in the D, That's usually MDD. Usually most folks look at the N, but I've been fooled by that one before! Report this Post to the Staff
