by Oden's beard i think you're right

 

ive been looking at every 1972 that i find just to find the ddo that the red book talks about. no luck.

 

What’s the RED Book? I think I need to get my hands on it

 

Looks to me to be too flat and shelf like. My guess is die deterioration doubling, not hub doubling, nor an error. @paddyman98 & @Fred Weinberg ?

 

Nope. Notice that it's flat and shelf like.
Either die deterioration or machine doubling.

 

it is a book. that is red.
it is titled united states coins. try to get the newest one. the 2019

 

I went to store to Buy One, Didn’t know which one to get and Got the BLUE One‍♂️

 

I’ll get this Red Version this Weekend, Thanks a lot my Man

 

What do You think about this D guys?

 

The 72 is not a DDO.

 

I’m trying to get the Hang of Seperating DDs from MDs and DTs, I’ll get it eventually but thanks for the insight

 

It is machine doubling. Common in the late 60s-early 70s in San Fancisco. Jim

I see they have a MEGA RRD 4th edition, what’s the Diff from the 2 if you don’t mind me asking?

 

So what errors are the Harder/Rare ones to look for? DD, Or Hub?

 

A doubled die is hub doubling...

From the item description:
The fourth edition of MEGA RED is the latest expanded version of the hobby s best-selling Red Book (more than 24 million copies sold since 1946). With pages 30% larger than the regular edition s, and weighing in at 1,504 pages (more than three times the page count), the new Deluxe Edition MEGA RED includes more historical information, extensive grading instructions with enlarged illustrations, a special 294-page in-depth feature on 222 years of U.S. ten-cent coins (Draped Bust, Capped Bust, Liberty Seated, Barber, Mercury, and Roosevelt dimes), and valuable essays on collecting and investing in rare coins, tokens, medals, and more. MEGA RED has certified population data, more die varieties, more auction records, and more pricing in more grades than the regular-edition Red Book. It covers American coinage from colonial times to the modern day half cents through $20 gold double eagles, plus bullion, commemoratives, Proof and Mint sets, significant tokens, errors, U.S. Philippine coins, modern Mint medals, and other collectibles. MEGA RED prices more than 8,000 items in up to 13 grades each, with 48,000 individual values, more than 15,000 auction records, and thousands of full-color images (thousands of which are updated or new to the fourth edition). New appendices explore error and misstruck dimes; pattern dimes; counterstruck dimes; dime scrip issued by banks, merchants, and towns; paper dimes from the Treasury Department; Civil War sutlers dime tokens; Civil War ten-cent store cards and dimes used as planchets for silver Civil War tokens; dimes discovered in the SS Central America; the history of the famous 1894-S dime; a snapshot of the dime market in 1946; irradiated dimes; an illustrated essay on the greatest U.S. dimes; the Liberty subset of First Spouse gold coins; and more. If you buy only one U.S. coin book this year, it should be the fourth edition of MEGA RED.
