<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3136322, member: 36230"]I don't believe anyone else has mentioned this (if so my apologies), but your coin looks to display the master doubling so common on 1972 cents from all mints. The link below will explain this better than I can, and even though said link details the different 72-P doubled dies, simply scroll to the bottom of the page and read the last listing as it goes for all.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, at that time and up until 1989, mintmarks were hand punched into the dies.
