I came across several listings on ebay for 1972 DDO possibly 2 according to the seller. I have noticed over the last month or so about a dozen or more being sold by the same seller. They have sold for between $20-$60. I found out by checking the feedback that buyer have left the seller. I know the 1972 DDO die 1 is very expensive in BU condition, what is the value in AU/BU condition of these other die varieties? Thanks, Tom |

My list shows a 72ddo(date dub)$250-$500 in AU condition. Most likely tho his are machine doubled or just a poor mans DDO (dubbing only on the 2 of the date) and worth only $5-$6 Ya seems kinda strange a fellow would have a roll of em.  Edited by coindexter

There are more 1972 DDO's other than the big one. The minor ones are worth less. Look on coppercoins.com and search for the 1972's. |

Well you have to remember that there are atleast, If not MORE THEN, 11 DDO for that year alone just on coppercoins with only 1 being the rare expensive one so maybe these are them. Check it out Im sure on CONECA there is possibly more. |

Most of the varieties except for the Big #1, and the variety #4, can be found in EF/AU for $10-$20. I would recommend The #2 or #8 for nice doubling at inexpensive price for a collection. If it wasn't for #1 wide spread, I feel that the #2 would be selling for a high price.If you find a listing of interest, post the url.

I counted 24 of these 1972 DDO sold in the last 3 months and his current listing is for 5 more. I believe it's die number 2. I just wasn't sure of the value. Please look his current listings and maybe the recent ones in the last 3 months. He posted pictures which show doubling in LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. Edited by twjcpj

I like how these guys always say it's "possibly" this or that, when doing a little work they could give a definitive die #. Of course, they hope someone will think it's the more valuable variety.  |

Well you can see from his past sales of this coin, people are paying 2-5 times what the coins are worth. I appreciate all of your inputs.
Thanks,
Tom

At least he does say it is not #1, which as you say, most do not. I might go with BU, but not Gem BU. AT least you have several shots at winning. And a price of under $10 would give you a nice DDO. If you don't have a real doubled die, it allows you to see the difference between a DD and Machine Doubling damage. So it is education costs  Jim |

On that note of costs, I wonder how much the prices in the Upcoming new edition of Cherry Pickers Guide will increase. I find that 2X or 3X for some of the varieties listed in the 4th, are fairly common today. Jim |

Jim, Yeah...reminds me of my 1870 IHC S-8, which in my CPG only lists 1 coin found. I found #10, and it's already up to a dozen I hear. Alas, lol. |
