1972 D DDO?

I can't tell if this is die fatigue or a DDO. Any help out there? Ignore the pointer from my microscope.

I thing you have several different forms of doubling on this coin. I see Machine doubling on the date also some die deterioration doubling on the mint mark. I do see some notching on the E and raised images and nothching on the w of IN GOD WE TRUST a possible doubled die by your pics. These forms of doubling can coexsist on one coin. Lets see what others have to say

This is a great example of the MDO (master doubled obverse) for the year. About half of all 1972 cents have this doubling. The mintmark has circulation damage to it.

So it's not very rare because the master hub had the doulbing and therefore every die made from that hub will show this? And therefore there is no DDO number for it, ie 1do-001. Right?

I found the U of trust very interesting...just my two cents.
