1972 Lincoln Memorial penny DDO

I was given this Lincoln Memorial penny back in change on a recent trip I took on a Amtrak train here in California. From what I understand, this particular year, mint, and depending on the variety of the error can be valuable. Especially due to the great condition of the coin. Can anyone help as to valuation please?

You have a nice looking 1972P cent BUT it is not a doubled die.
Worth: 1 cent.

 

Thanks for your help! A coin dealer very close to where I live told me to pay close attention to lower part of the 7, inner curvature & tail of the 2 in the date. He also said that the ridge near the L in Liberty , as well as the L and B letters in Liberty. He also said look very close for subtle doubling on the "W" of "In God We Trust". He said it was definitely a DDO, just a matter of which one. I always like getting others opinions. Thanks again!

 

Sorry- I'm not seeing the DDO. It may be one of the minor DDOs for that year but it definitely isn't the major 1972 DDO.

Better pictures would help determine this.

 

I'm 99.9% certain he is wrong. Unless you can provide clearer pictures of the obverse then I will stand by that.
If it is a DDO, it is a minor one and not worth much unfortunately. 1972 was plagued with doubled dies for some reason *cough cough someone drinking on the job cough cough* lol

Here is my 1972P DDO1 that I found while roll searching:


I've also managed to find multiple other 72P DDOs including 002, 003, 006, 007, and 008. Your coin does not match any of those.

 

Wow! I can't believe you found that DDO1 roll searching. It's in nice condition too

 

Yup. Back in 2013. I'd only been roll searching for a few months at the time My first DDO ever. It was quickly followed by 2 1995 DDO-001s as well. I think I'm still living off that high lol.

 

Cheezmo, Another photo as above very slightly smaller for better focus, and a light from the left also, as the shadows on one side and bright on the other side of a number or letter confuses. The "2" is possibly indicative of a DDO-009, but the photos have to be sharper if one can't tell by loupe. jim
