Hey I just Really don't know what the heck to do trying to find a 1972 ddo fs-104 , I don't understand why this coin is so expensive...but. Is anyone willing to part with one for a decent price so I can complete my 1972 double die set. Sent from my C6740N using Tapatalk
It's Doubled Die not Double Die.. big difference quote "Note that the proper terminology for this occurrence includes the letter 'd' at the end of the first word, hence "doubled die". The term "double die" without the first word ending in 'd' is not proper numismatic terminology." closed quote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubled_die
I could be very wrong but I believe that the FS-104 is the rarest of all the 1972/72 Lincolns. As such, it commands a significant premium over and obave it's big brother which has significantly more doubling. AND, just like you (minus the deep pockets) the 1972/72 DDO's are a PRIME target for completing a set of DDO's.
PCGS values it at $1000 in EF40. I was unable to find an auction record of one changing hands for less than $1800. Apparent estimate for total population is less than 30 pieces. Good luck with that.
Not a lot of info out there; my number was from 2012, I think, so more might have been found since. Still a pretty rare bird, because the die apparently started disintegrating almost immediately.
