1972 S Proof DDO-001

Dowhat, scroll all the way to the bottom. It affected P, D and S coins and you will have a harder time finding one without it, than with it. There were two master dies for this year and as Wexler states, 60 to 70 percent, were from this master.

So There are 3 million plus 1972 S Proof made by a special polished Die set. The web site at Copper Coins shows listing for the s proof Lincoln Cent which I used to look at my cent. Were their two sets of Dies used to produce such a limited run? Do they use a special planchet for proofs? I guess I am trying to say is are we apples to apples here or are their apples and oranges comparison in the mix? I'm confused because I see seperation lines on the script of my cent.

coop, I assumed that the 60 to 70 percent number, that Wexler mentions, is because the 2nd master, that had the doubling on it, was made and put into use in April, of that year, thus, only a third into the year, when it was introduced into production. Just going by what Wexler stated though, was not there.

It logically made sense to me though, if that was the case and the production of cents were similar, throughout the year.
