Deecoinguy Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 1:35 pm Thanks so much for info. I will be looking immediately on getting a bettter microscope and Pete I have gotta learn more about how to add diameter to my photos. I have found a good one to ask questions on. It's a 1972-I believe a DDR but am still learning the difference between that and MD. * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING. All capital letters is the internet version of yelling.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96112 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 10:21 pm The reverse is showing Machine Doubling - very common and not an error that brings up the value of a coin.

CentSeeker Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 10:30 pm It is really hard to differentiate Doubled Die w/ Machine Doubling with these 1972 cents. I learned recently that if the bottom 1st "device" is flat and 2-dimensional looking, it is likely Machine Doubling. I have a lot of 1972 cents like that so I know it is hard tell from the Newbie perspective. Then there are the variety descriptions for some cents that say "Extra thickness" or "Small spread..." etc. so there are no visible separation lines which makes it hard to tell DDD from Doubled Die cents. Thanks for sharing! Edited by CentSeeker 09/03/2022 10:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CentSeeker Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 10:35 pm I have been looking for notches at serifs for these types of coins as well as the ones w/ "Extra thickness..." but it is hard without the high megapixel camera equipment. I cannot even see them with my HD camcorder pics. The cheap USB microscope is not my favorite thing either. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 3:24 pm The obverse could be showing master die doubling. Not the 'D' on God: IF so it is common on 50% of the normal cents that year from all three mints. Report this Post to the Staff
