chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 01/30/2009 11:21 pm Pretty sure this is the right DDO for this coin I just found tonight. I have two- 003's and two - 008's, and this one is different from them, and matches the 006 on Chuck's site more closer. *Still looking for the BIG ONE (001!) Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 12:08 am It looks quite promising as 1972P-1DO-006. If so, you have found the second scarcest of all the different known dies for 1972P...the scarcest and by far most difficult to locate would be 1972P-1DO-004. Not very many of those are known, and in fact recently a higher grade uncirculated specimen auctioned for over $2000! Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 07:10 am Thanks Chuck! WOW, $2000 for a 1972P-1DO-004 Do you have a picture of what that coin looks like? Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 1:20 pm I don't have photos of 1972P-1DO-004 currently. I am working on acquiring them, but do not have any as of present. I do not have nor have I ever had an example of 1972P-1DO-004. They are quite scarce. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 3:18 pm Watch Coin World over the coming weeks. Ken Potter has been soliciting information from a pool of people to compile an article on that very die. It should be quite good, he picked a decent size list of Lincoln Cent variety experts to give him all they had on the variety. I was involved and saw some of the correspondence from others.

stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 02/01/2009 10:38 am Got me curious and started looking around this is very interesting Here is a link to the 1972 1c DDO-004 http://www.varietyvista.com/1972PDDO004%20cent.htm Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 07:21 am Thanks for the info Chuck. Thanks stewart for the pics. I saved the pics, so when I find the next one, I'll be able to compare it right away (LOL). Regarding this coin, (006) here is a pic of the reverse die marker scratches. Its a perfect match (IMHO) to Chuck's pic! This is definitely a 1972P 1DO-006. My coin: Chuck's Site: Report this Post to the Staff
