very nice find and grade. I might be asking if someone can help with which variety it is. I believe the pricy 004 has a CCW spread but I don't know if this is it. might be worth it to have it graded.
as an after thought....if someone WOULD be able to help on variety, it would be really beneficial and helpful to add pictures of LIBERTY and date. it almost looks like the 002.
I have neither, but it seems most people say PCGS or NGC. I might be wrong, so wait for others to chime in.
Think it's ddo 2 if ddo 1 didn't exist you would have a valuable coin. I think after grading fees you will be about even if you sell it. Still very cool coin. Welcome to CT keep em comin.
I would send it off to ANACS, you don't have to buy a membership to send coins in. http://www.anacs.com/
I'm with dwhiz ANACS and if you have any friends etc who collect and want a coin or 2 graded they have a special running right now $99.00 for 12 which you can use at your discretion...still if you only want 1 coin graded they are the least expensive and if you have any questions you can email and they answer also they will answer the phone when you call.
I found an 002 about the same grade and got $50 for it. I would buy a happy meal from Mc D's to celebrate.
Yummy one! You know, some have suggested these '72s were rarer than the '55s? That all stopped once cell phone cameras were invented.
