<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1084659, member: 68"]The '72-P used to be a much better date and is still a better date. There just weren't as many as these set aside as most. People generally believe all the coins and especially the cents were saved in staggering numbers and they'll never have much value but this just isn't true. Up until 1965 they were saved in huge numbers but after this the number set aside just fell off cliff. Sure there were some like the '74-D still saved in large numbers but something like the '72 there were probably only about 1.25 million saved and over the years many of these have reeenterred circulation. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's a good bag to check. The odds of finding DDO's is quite good since there were more than a dozen doubled dies for the date. Of course you'll only have about 20 die pair represented and this reduces the odds considerably. If you have one you'll have 100 though. Only two of them are extremely valuable and you won't have die #2 (the well known and 2nd most valuable) because these bags were selectively checked back in 1972. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck if you open them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
