Quote: "Strong spread as an extra bar above the 2 of the date." ..... Unfortunately not seeing it on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8733 Posts	Posted 08/20/2024 12:35 pm What you have found is the doubled master die, 1972 1¢ WMDO-001, it's the first listing in the link I have provided. More than half of all 72's, all three mints have this. Very, very common. LINK https://doubleddie.com/384301.html -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2834 Posts	Posted 08/20/2024 12:38 pm Doubling has nothing to do w/ the word "In". You're seeing Master Die Doubling on the letters of In God We Trust, which is on 50% of the coins truck in '72. Specifically, the doubling of -009 is .... an extra bar above the 2 of the date, which in your 6th picture clearly does not display. Report this Post to the Staff
smauggie Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 08/20/2024 12:52 pm Hi, Let's compare. The example given for 1972 DDO 009 State C (thanks to Variety Vista). We will start with point 1 which I have identified. There is a notch of copper protuding from the foot of the number two. Point 2 is a raised area of metal all around the tail end of the foot of the number 2 in 1972. Point 3 are the tips of the 7 in 1972 which are slightly doubled in the verified DDO. When you compare these points on a verified DDO with your coin, I find them all missing. For these DDO identifications you have to match the finest details of the example given to know you actually have the coin that you have in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin doesn't show that, so you would move on to the next coin. Period. Keep searching and listen to what people are telling you/advice here. Report this Post to the Staff
