    Here is one from GiJoe's set. Note the spread in the motto and LIBERTY. Yours doesn't appear to have any of this.

    That's a 72/72. Not the same coin as the OP's.

    I'm not seeing anything, but none of the known 1972-D doubled dies would be discernible from your photos.

    I think Bob was just looking for an excuse to show off his beautiful coin. ;)

    Sorry OP, I can't really tell if your coin is a doubled die or not.

    When you consider the different die varieties on 1972, 1972D and 1972S cents, there are 13 or 14 different ones....

    The 1972 D shown above has none of the collectible die varieties. There is enough magnification to determine that.

    A quick explanation needs to made of something called Master Die doubling. In 1972, some master dies that made working hubs that went on to make working dies exhibited a minor doubling. Technically, the processes involved in die production that began with the slightly doubled master dies created a situation where 50% or more of all 1972 dated cents were struck by dies that were slightly doubled due to the master dies that were doubled.

    The 1972 cents effected by the master die doubling are so common that they don't usually get included in any lists. Since that many coins were effected, they have no value and are considered normal for the date even though they are technically doubled dies as we know them.

    The doubled dies that are more pronounced are eagerly collected.

    The one shown above has evidence of the master die doubling that I can see on the word TRUST.

    this may be one of the 72D doubled die coins. I had one of the best type 72D and sold it on ebay with a bad photo a while back. these are doubled so close they are really hard to get the doubled letters to be visable in a photo. in one of the photos the bottom of the G in GOD looks right but it's hard to say for sure from the photos.
