    I don't think so from the pic. Maybe a larger closer one? Does not match anything in the CherryPicker's yet

    Post a pic of LIBERTY, looks like it could be master die doubling...

    Here's a picture of '72 master die doubling:

    Yep. Master die doubling which is actually bolder than a few of the reguar DDOs for the date. It is present on between 50-60% of all '72 Lincolns but not present on DDOs 1-8.

    Compare your coin to my pics and you'll hopefully see the same doubling. The bold cross on the T in LIBERTY, for me, is the easiest way to double check if it comes from an earlier hub or later hub with doubling. There is also a die gouge in the S of TRUST that is often present on master die doubled examples.

    I agree, MDD. I have kept several of these, because they were found in MS-60 or better. I think they are very bold and all devices stand out.

    MDD stands for Machine Doubling Damage.

    Well in this case since I am abbreviating Master Die Doubling and it was used in the post above it, I think everyone knows what I mean. :thumb: And we don't need the abbreviation list again, thank you.
