Hello everyone! Happy 4th of July. I am new to coin collecting and searching so I have a lot to learn. I was wondering if this penny is anything better than a cent. Thank you!
Can you get pics of the full obverse, they are necessary when attributing variety's. http://cointerms.com/index.htm I was looking through some definitions, This site spelled Doubled Die wrong also. Happy 4th! Welcome to CT.
It could possibly one of three although that sole picture does not reveal the rest of the obverse devices in that same level of detail, or the overall of the obverse, or the reverse
http://doubleddie.com/823839.html http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/DDO 1972-S.htm click on all five found on the second link between the two sites, do you think yours is one of these? if so, those show details you need to see and provide for verification. It is nice if you can rotate them the same as they are shown.
Realize the date on your coin appears to have taken a hit damaging it and the shapes remaining will only be slightly helpful in making determination. However, there are a couple small remnants of clues in your one picture that may make it worth looking at much closer.
I don't see it being any of those attributed or any doubling. Do you see it matching any shown in the links?
I dont, the only maybe that I see is the Southside of the w and the t. But maybe that's normal. Thanks for the response
