Periodically, my wife will give me a handful of change in an attempt to reduce the quantity of coins in her change section of her wallet. Yesterday she handed me a few and I put them aside to check later. Later just arrived and as I was going through the coins, one penny looked different. The IGWT was blurry to my eyes. Normally I would toss it into the 'return to the bank' bin, but I decided to get out the mag. and have a look. The IGWT is doubled as well as Liberty. The date is??? Since I haven't dealt with DDO variations before, I would appreciate opinions. All the questions asked about DDO's is making me wonder how many I have tossed aside.
This is from variety vista’s page: http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/1972PDDO007.htm Your picture Is a bit blurry but I am comfortable in saying you have DDO-007
Hope I didn't offend using the imoges. Just trying to make a return joke. Your comment was witty. Thanks for responding to the post.
Trying to get a better image, but it is still eluding me after sixteen separate, six photo, attempts using alternate lighting, different positions and angles. I have the bit in my teeth and....
I am leaning towards DDO-002, Liberty, the N the W. And it even looks like the die gouge is there on the shoulder. I can't find any of the markers for -007 on your good photos @Robert Ransom. Check them against this one. http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/1972PDDO002.htm
It's a 1972. There are numerous Doubled Die varieties for this year. It's not the most desirable variety but it is one of them. As I do not collect varieties for the most part I congratulate you on finding this one. PS Be sure to treat your wife to something special!
