If you really want to find a lot of dd's or rpms for pennies, then buy "THE CHERRYPICKERS GUIDE Fifth addition vol.1" You will be surprised in the depth of knowledge you will obtain from that book. Or, check out coppercoins.com for other varieties or errors on Lincolns.

Welcome Yorkiedad5 to the forum! The chances are that if the date of a 1972 cent is easily recognized as "doubled", but none of the lettering, it is machine doubling of the date. The true doubled die varieties of the 1972P that have the doubling only in the date are very difficult to see and identify. Photos are necessary for us to validate, and if you search there are many threads on machine doubling that might help you have a better idea. Again Welcome!

Jim

I found a DDO-01 in circulation last year. It was very obvious. I wasn't even looking for errors, just sorting out coppers. It even had some luster left. I used to get bags of pennies from the banks with coin counting machines.
