Hey Bob, you attributed this one for Chuck, have I got it? The pups seem to be there and the two looks just like the 2 on the FS-105 but I suck at attributing this particular variety. If I am wrong which Variety would it be? You can see strong separation in the “B” of Liberty. Thanks! Don

I am sure that it is not FS-105. The pick up point on this one is the L of LIBERTY, and your coin lacks that doubling. The B of LIBERTY took a hit, and I am not seeing anything else that leads me to believe this is any of the listed doubled dies. I do see some minor lines on some of the devices, but with the lack of actual separation and/or notching, you cant attribute these to anything hub related.Bob Piazza

That was the problem I was having. I couldn’t attribute it to any thing but it looked to me like it belonged somewhere and fs-105 was the closest (at least to me anyway). I went through all 26 of Wexler’s attributions and the 2 or three that Chuck has that Wexler Doesent. The “B” to me looked distended and warped and that’s part of what set me to trying to attribute it to something . Thank you so much for you f feedback on both!Comment

I hear ya, but in the variety field, close just isn't enough. The doubling needs to be exact, or it is a possible new variety all together. You also need to remember that things like 'distended' can not apply to only one device/letter/number in the middle of others. By virtue of the way it is hubbed, it would affect other areas of the die as well. To me, the hit is pretty noticeable. This is one year I have searched and studied extensively. It wouldn't surprise me if other minor varieties are still discovered for this year.Bob Piazza

Yeah I’m aware of your extensive studies for 72. It’s why I specifically asked for you. Honestly I know and feel sure I’ve looked at 72 DDO’s that have not been attributed yet. I’ve got one in my piles of 72’s that if I can locate it again i feel sure it’s a new variety. I had never seen this particular 1972 before. There was a top piece of either the 7 or the 2 that was completely separated from the date. If I find it again (and I’m searching) I’m going to be sending it directly to you. Thanks Bob I really appreciate you taking time for me
