I don't know why anyone would fake a 1972 cent other than 1972 is popular for faking because of all the Doubled Dies. The bottom point on the 2 on the date looks wrong, the pair of S's on STATES seem wrong, and something seems off on the bust but I can't put my finger on it. I don't know if these distortions can be caused by being broadstruck. It does have a struck rim so it would need to have been struck twice, once in the collar and then out of collar, like Coop said. Maybe it is on a foreign planchet- Chinese. Maybe ,just maybe, "they" were trying to perfect their fake dies or venturing into error coins? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 09/22/2020 09:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
