1972 FS-033.52 DDO Lincoln Cent Value Question?

[fcloud]

Does anyone have an idea of value on a PCGS Graded 1972 FS-033.52 DDO Lincoln Cent? The PCGS cert number is 3135828.

PCGS says only $60.00 but I think that is based on regular 1972 cents.

Here what their info says.

Youy are right, that PCGS price is based on the regular 1972 Lincoln cent.

To give you a ball park figure what this die is worth, we can look at the MS-65 price given by PCGS which is $15.00 or 4X lower, reference this price back to the Cherrt Piuckers Guide, which states that the die is worth $35.00 in MS-65, times that by 4 and end up with a figure of $140.00 for this die in MS-66.

Please remember that the CPG price is fairly old (2000) and prices have increased. Copper Coins has the price listed at $45.00 for MS-65 and we again can use the multiple to arrive at a figure of $180.00 for MS-66.

Again, these are all ball park figures.
