Guys, I was putting all my cents away for winter and breaking down my sort table, putting stuff in tubes, boxes, etc. When I grabbed this one. I think it is a DDO-3 ? The date looks right, but I couldn't see any of the markers. Maybe when my new glasses come in ? I would appreciate an opinion on it. Now I did use tinypic as a host again. Maybe next year I can figure out how to post the pics another way ? It is an "S". I saw the mistake, but I be hanged, I can't figure out how to edit that. Sorry for that. Old brain doesn't always reach the typing unit. Darn it ! Changed it for you. Thanks, gary
I would reserve a definite opinion due to the smallness of the date area. First glance seems MD, maybe including the MM also. Sorry, can you try a photo of the date through a magnifier ? Jim
The 1972-s cent is not listed in the "Cherrypickers' Guide", I can't see what you see from the pictures. Soooo, I will not agree as a DD. Sorry. -O) There is a 1972-s proof (Breen# 2266) that has the letters DD, and is in this book. Values: PF63-$450.00.
The only one which would seem even close is the 1972-S WDDO-003. Very similar to the 1972P DDO-009. There is a visible doubling ,North of the tail of the 2 which is noticeable. Wexler and Flynn "Authoritative Reference on Lincoln Cents" has it on page 230. I still can't tell on this coin.
Sorry guys, I think I should have turned it across the scanner bed for a clearer shot ? I will try and get a pic tomorrow if I can get the rig I made up to giving me something decent. My eyes can't read the LCD on the cam to well. I went through 20 rolls for an initial sort today and found another one ? It's mostly on the 7 I think. Sure try to get pics when it's daylight. Thanks again gary
The image is to small to tell anything from where I'm at? It doesn't look like this one does it? http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Master_Die_doubling_1972-D.jpg If so it is just master die doubling. it is on a large percentage of all three mints Cents. Common. Just face value for this. Sorry.
