1976 LMC Collector's Cent?

I found this 1976 (nmm) with the soccer player, I think. From what I learned it was from the '76 Montreal,Canada game with Argentina.
I this a good ebay thing, or does anyone else collect these? It's in great shap and appears to have some type of doubling with date, LIBERTY, and IGWT. Your feedback is deeply appreciated.
Thanks---DMW

I believe the doubling you see is mechanical doubling which adds nothing to the value.

I'm not sure about the reference to the Olympics. It looks more like a field goal kicker in a football game, but then, people can come up with whatever explanation they want. There are people who collect such things, but there is no way to predict what it is worth. It depends on how many bidiots are chasing it.

Sure is a field goal kicker you can even see the goal post.

 

Yeah, and soccer players don't wear shorts that look like football pants.

Another novelty penny which can be bought brand spanking new for $1.00 or less, depending on the number you wish to purchase. This is the "football". They make lots of different designs.

 

1976 was a bad year for doubled dies. There really aren't any worth talking about.
