Double Date 1972 1955 Double "I" in Liberty and odd "L" and Double 55 date.   07-03-2009, 02:27 PM   #2 (permalink) bobbeth87 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: I live near Houston, Texas Posts: 1,802 My Mood: 1 looks like a common die crack 2 looks like it was struck through some grease or something 3 definitely looks like a wide AM. post pics of the whole Reverse and obverse as well. The FG is in a different place on the wide AMs so will need to see that as well to verify. 4 - 6 I'll defer on those... __________________ Bob   07-03-2009, 02:32 PM   #3 (permalink) physics-fan3.14 Senior Member   Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Charleston, SC Posts: 418 My Mood: The last two look like die deterioration doubling, not worth a premium. The first two are die cracks, not worth a premium but kinda cool. The 1972 I can't tell what's going on with the date, pictures aren't good enough. __________________ I reserve the right to change my mind with new facts, experience, opinions, or viewpoints.

I have quite a worn one I found in circulation, similar to yours where its the date that shows the doubling, and there is a slightly heavier rim as well. I posted pics of mine in a Lincolns thread recently but haven't really determined if this coin falls into the '72s that carry any premium, even though mine is very worn. What do you think? Anything? It's very hard to picture this but the dates DO appear doubled to the naked eye and magnified under a lupe.

I don't know what grade it is, but in MS64, it looks like its about $30-$40. __________________ I reserve the right to change my mind with new facts, experience, opinions, or viewpoints.
