When you say you cherrypicked it, what do you believe it is? Presumably you think it's one of the 1972 DDOs, but is there one you suspect? I see no evidence of doubling, but the pictures are a little blurry.

The pictures aren't clear enough to identify any particular error but it really does look to be in pristine condition!

It really, really helps us to help you when you not only provide clear photos (outside of 2x2's) but also clearly state to us your question about your coin. Otherwise, we're only guessing to what you'd like to know.

Sorry I was asking about the way the motto looked in particular the letters N G O D R and the S I didn't get a good picture but the nose looks interesting as well forgive the photos it's extremely tough with what I have to work with I'm hoping for better equipment thanks for all the responses &  &  &  &  &  &

"I was asking about the letters so-on and so-forth" still doesn't really give anyone any information about what you want to know. *What* are you asking about those letters? Do you think they're doubled? Do you think they're weakly struck? Do you think they're the wrong size? Too close to the rim of the coin? Knowing what you think is or isn't different about them can significantly shorten the amount of time we have to stare at the coin, since some things can be explained or dismissed very quickly as either "has to be such and such error" or "it's damage because no such error exists." Likewise for "the nose is interesting." That's not a description we can do anything with. Pretend you're trying to give a police report on the coin - telling the detectives he had an "interesting" nose is pretty unlikely to lead to them finding the suspect. Knowing *what* made his nose stand out, on the other hand, could be useful information.

I hope you didn't pay too much for this coin. I am not seeing any major Doubled Die going on.
Errers and Varietys.

Well in comparison the N in the motto is more rounded than any of my other 1972s the W is doubled if you look theres two Vs the G on the horizontal serifs there's two of them it took me a long time of looking but it's there the date the 7 rises slightly and so does the 2 the 9 does but it's not a lot the nose is longer than the other 1972s my other 72s have Sharper noses. This brings me to the R it's in two different places the S is far bigger than any of my other 72s Liberty motto the L Is against the rim it's hard to see it but the bottom is jutting the B E and R definitely show doubling unfortunately not alot of separation but it's there the shine on the coin makes it very difficult to pinpoint these my phone has an app and I've been using that I'll get a better camera and repost if necessary I appreciate everyone's patience I did This one kind of late I thought I put more in description sorry won't happen again but thank you all #9786;

Cherry picking usually means buying a coin for less than its true value because the seller didn't understand its worth due to grade or some error/variety, etc. If you just found it coin roll hunting, then no loss. I suggest looking up the doubled die varieties for this date on varietyvista, because it doesn't look like any of them to me.

I forgot the lingo I was referring to the old term like I cherry picked coins I liked from rolls lol but I have been looking at varieties vista like you I haven't yet matched it apart from that the condition is the best I've seen of any 1972 Penny I've come across I have however come across a perfect 1962 Penny with better picture taking ability I'll post that one some time thank you very much for your feedback &  &  &  &  &  &  &  &
