    So I came across this penny in my pocket change the other day and I was wondering if I've stumbled across my first penny with real doubling on it.
    Only the obverse has the doubling on it, so I didn't get pictures of the reverse.

    Sure did and with absolutely no doubt about it. Congrats.

    Now you should first try to attribute it on your own.

    Thanks for the opinion, Books. I'll definitely put forth a greater effort to attribute it myself next time, now that I've actually seen doubling in the flesh.

    Let see who show up and what they think the number of this DDO is .
    And yes, I know what number it is .

    Well, as I said earlier, I'm still new at this.. But to me it looks most like a DDO-002

    While we are waiting for the OP to reply.
    I was going to say #7.
    Thanks Rick, I think you helped me verify my LMC 1972 WDDO-007.
    LMK if you need closer photos.

    Should be a Die Gouge in between the lips .
    That's a good marker to use .

    I was also in the 007 camp. These are probably the most common (for me at least) of the 72 DDO's. I think I've pulled 7 or 8 of them out CRHing over the last few years.

    Your coin looks like it has spent quite a few years in storage.
    Very nice indeed.

    This is the best photo I could take. Would it qualify?

    Wow. I clicked on the post figuring that there might be some entertainment value (newbie arguing that his machine doubled coin is worth a fortune and the members on CT don't know anything). AS soon as the pic popped up, I couldn't believe it. You found something good. Nice find
