coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/10/2010 4:08 pm Interesting coin - I'm sure those are a LOT less common than some of the others in the early clad part of that series. I know just about every date and mintmark has a couple of nice ones. Bill would be the best person to chime in on that. I remember a telephone call where he spit out some dozen different dies he thought I should look for with all my free time ;O) Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 01/10/2010 9:22 pm Hi Chuck, In MS63 and on an Early Die State coin, that doubled die runs between 50 and 75 bucks. If we back it down gradewise, and consider the green on it, It would be about 15 to 20 tops. Still a real nice coin as an example of a nice DDO. In higher grades, this one surpasses the 1974 D DDO in value. The doubling is essentially all you need to establish the ID of this coin. Die markers are not needed when the coin has dings and such. The doubling on your coin indicates that your identification of the coin is correct. It is CONECA 1972 DDO-OO1 (1-0-II+V) or FS-50-1972-101 ( CherryPickers' Guide) I wish I knew what the green stuff was. The coin should be preserved somehow. You might try to see if straight acetone might get rid of the green on the coin. I don't advocate cleaning as a rule but this coin could benefit if the green can be removed. You wouldn't wipe or polish the coin and the acetone is harmless to the rest of the coin and its surface. Don't use nail polish remover as that is only 3% acetone or so if it is an acetone based nail polish remover. If you try to use straight acetone, you have to use it in a very well ventilated location. If you happen to have birds as pets, use the acetone outside and not in the house. I hope this helps.

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 03/20/2010 2:35 pm Followup: Bill, I had the coin soak for over a month and nothing happened. The "Green" did not come off! I ended up selling this coin on e-Bay and got $10.95 for it AS-IS! because of the damage, so both the buyer and I were happy. The other 2 1972P 1DO-001's I still have. I was looking at them a little closer today and decided to see if I could pick up on any indentical die markers and I did! I know you said the doubling in itself is proof of the DDO, but check out these 2 pics. They both have identical die scratches going through the E/R of America on the Reverse. 1972P 1DO-001 JFK coin- Found Feb 2010- Die Marker Reverse 1972P 1 DO-001 JFK coin- found March 2010- Die Marker Reverse Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/20/2010 5:18 pm I agree, from the same die. always nice to find nice markers. Report this Post to the Staff
Pinenut Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 03/20/2010 5:42 pm This may be a super noobie question: but wouldn't the die marker have to be on the obverse to support the assignment of the DDO? That said, your observations suggest that your two coins are the results of the same die marriage, obverse and reverse, right? Report this Post to the Staff
DylansDad Valued Member United States 476 Posts	Posted 03/20/2010 10:48 pm I'd concur with that Pinenut. Report this Post to the Staff
