I'm sorry but there is nothing special about these two coins. They are common cents that we all find in circulation.

 

The 82 is a small date, yes, and there are suggestions of it being zinc from your photo, but isn't enough to say conclusively. Simply weigh it, or if you don't have a scale, perhaps try the popsicle-stick type balancing trick. It doesn't make any significant difference anyway.

As for the 72, it appears to display the master doubling so very common for that year. I see no indication of even the remote possibility of it being DDO#4.

 

Do you know about the variety sites, OP ?

 

no, not at all.... just posting this.. my mom is not a techy. just needed the truth on these coins. and tyvm

 

Ty peeps.. she needed to know

 

I need a shot of the reverse on the 82 ..

 

i think? this is it.. she said it is a 2.5

 

It's hard to tell from those images, so here's what I'm looking for .
It's wexler DDR-001, take a look at your coin and see if this is what going on with your coin .

Here's the link to wexler site .

I will look at that site. I'm doing this by email with her. trying to help her understand how to upload photos. not 100% sure if im placing the the correct back of the coin. I do appreciate all of you help. I just dont want to see her spend money on grading them unless she is sure ( she seems sure lol).

 

Die chips to the left of LIBERTY ARE common to the FS-104 variety, but other than that, I see no evidence of doubling.

 

Here's the Lincoln Cent 1972 DDO:

 

While it could reasonably be called "the 72 DDO" simply because it's the most significant (similar to "the 1955") it isn't the only one and is something that should always be made clear. In fact, the 1972 DDO (004) mentioned by the OP is much more scarce and can be more valuable than the one shown (001).

 

Just take an image of the last 5 letters, of AMERICA ......................

 

Well, i will try to get some photos of the doubling so i can inspect. Either way (If i know her) she will continue on her journey in coin collecting. she loves it and im excited for her. Thank you guys very much. and if i get more pics i'll post. prob won't be till this weekend.
