<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Spark1951, post: 8530493, member: 90692&quot;]Yes, this is different doubling than what is on almost all 1972 cents, MDO.&nbsp; There were <b>2 </b>Master dies produced, the second estimated around May 72.&nbsp; The Mint had horrible problems with both Master dies that year, producing many doubling varieties.&nbsp; Yours looks like it could be 008.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I just checked (as of yesterday around 5pm) 17 1972 P&amp;D, and almost all showed some vestiges of the MDO.&nbsp; Due to wear state, several did not show any doubling.&nbsp; I ended up keeping two AU58 Red and one AU53 Red Brown.</p><p><br /></p><p>The complete info for the MDO and the other varieties is on the 1972 Philadelphia page at Wexler.&nbsp; Because <b>every</b> 1972 was produced with the doubling, they are quick to point out they have <b>no extra value.</b>&nbsp; But they are neat to show the doubling.&nbsp; Most folks never see bonafide doubling…Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
