JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 03/09/2010 07:50 am I believe this is MD or Die Deterioration Edited by JimR 03/09/2010 07:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/09/2010 6:04 pm Most if not all '72'S are DD's so they are not worth a premium. Look at LIBERTY, if there is doubling there then check IGWT more closely,that's where you will find the real DD's. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

errorfinder Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 03/14/2010 6:55 pm agreeing with john here.not the clearest pictures to be able to definitively say...to me , however i'd go with MD 'cause the doubling appears 'flat and shelf-like' which are the classical MD 'signs'.don't know if you know aboutwww.coppercoins.com ? any of the commonly 'accepted' doubled dies(DD),rpm's(RPM) ,over mint marks(OMM),ect. are listed and visible there.1st look up-wards the upper left-hand corner for Search the site directly below it is the die variety search http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.phpfrom there you gotta at least enter in a year to start with.*then i'll just hit enter on my key-board or scroll down on the web page till [SUBMIT] button , click-it -n- go.of coarse there are numerous options to refine/narrow your search..Happy Hunting Report this Post to the Staff
Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 03/14/2010 9:46 pm Better pics would help but am pretty sure it is classic MD. There is no separation at the corners of any of the devises. More importantly, MD happens when you have die bounce and it lands on the existing devise. This makes the primary devise smaller as part of the original devise has been hit again. The shelf effect is cause by the die landing on the devise it had just struck. if you look a the the "2" and picture in your mind the doubling effect at the bottom being part of the original "2", it would be the correct size.
