1972 DDO Cent Type?

Hello. First time poster but addicted to the forums. I recently found what I'm assuming to be a 1972 DDO cent (hopefully not machine doubling) while searching cent rolls but am not sure of the variety/type. Any help is greatly appreciated!

It doesn't look like any of the 77 DD's I could find, and machine doubling is found on over half of the 77's from Philadelphia due to a lack of attention to detail. But, you might want to look here: http://www.coppercoins.com/

Guy,

It's a '72, not '77.

My bad, but same still applies. According to Daughtrey, there are a multitude of DD's for 72, which is why I suggested they try his site for clarification. I don't know why I wrote 77...I've not been right in the head the past few days thanks to crummy weather.

Just took a look at my 72DD and the doubleing on the date is much more vertical, rather than horizonal like yours. Keep looking
