Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 05/07/2020 07:52 am This is Master Die Doubling not a Doubled Die. Normal on most 72s. No added value. Check this out.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 9:35 pm While these are a doubled die, they are so common they are just a face value coin. 50% of the coins that year from all three mints are know to have this doubling. Spendable, unless you want to show it to a new collector. Report this Post to the Staff

Waynoah83 Pillar of the Community 586 Posts	Posted 05/17/2020 06:24 am There are some great DDs for this year which is why the Master doubling blows even more. An easy way to spot the master die doubling is look at the S in TRUST. See the die gouge(little horizontal line) sticking out of the the top curve of the S? That's a pretty good indicator and yours shows it fairly well. This one used to get my Hope's up all the time when I was getting into the hobby. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 01:16 am The problem is that half of the coins from all three mints look just like this. So while it is a doubled die, it is very common. There are a few doubled dies on these, but all on the tail area of the '2'. Report this Post to the Staff
