Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 4:12 pm Found this 72 Memorial cent today and it looks like some of the letters have some doubling. I see nothing on LIBERTY or the date but IGWT seems to have a few letters that have some offset to them. Isn't much but enough to notice from normal letters. Any help is appreciated in advance......

Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 4:41 pm Nice coin. When I look at a couple of guides, I noticed that references to doubling were with obvious doubling in the "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the number 2. Of course guides seem to use high end UNC/MS coins! Being no expert either, it seems like your strongest case for DDO is in the "IN GOD WE TRUST" and not the date. CONECA has at least 9 variants for a 1972 P among these letters but I am not sure how some wear and its flattening of the letters impacts a variant designation. Good luck!

But it sure is close to 006 too Report this Post to the Staff
Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 8:38 pm Nice find. Matches DDO-003 stage C. The die scratches in the field by Lincolns face and I see that tiny gouge at the rim by the corner of the bust. Edited by Kloccwork419 01/24/2021 8:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
