Bit of a stretch, but maybe a 1972s doubled die?

    Probably not. But Meow sees something there. Wishful thinking maybe?


    1972-S 1¢ WDDO-003 "Best Of" Variety

    Description: Doubling shows only on the lower part of the 2 in the date.

    Die Markers: Obverse: Two small die gouges (dots) can be found on the bottom left of the base of the bust. A short die scratch runs NE from the top left of the R in LIBERTY. A die scratch runs from north to south inside the upper left W of WE. Reverse: A die scratch runs NW from the bottom left side of the 1st column. A die scratch runs from NW to SE in the lower 2nd bay. A die gouge can be found near the top of the 8th bay. A die scratch runs NNE from near the top right side of the 10th column.

    I don't think so. Where are the markers?

    Well, the top curl of the 2 has a shadow image below it. And it has multiple points on the end of the 2. Where it curls up, Meow thinks Meow can see more than one end point curling back up. Its faint, but it seems there is a second curl pointing up there.

    That's not even close to the actual doubling on the righthand base of the "2". Did you even check for the markers?
