Now take a look at another coin, the three pics labeled “A.” Do you see the anomaly off the left of the “2” and again at the bottom of the 7? I’ve never seen either of these on a 72 LMC before. Do you think that raised area on the planchet beneath the 7 could be a remanent of another 7 or just a simple Planchet defect? What about that bit of metal off the left of the two? There is also an “arching” anomaly of sorts on the inside corner of the two. What is that? I haven’t come across any of these before in my 72 roll hunting. Is this stuff you’ve seen or come across before in studying the ‘72’s?
Finally take a look at the last three but particularly the double photo comparison I made. When I took the pic straight forward the letters seemed normal. However when I rotated to the coin ever so slightly look what happened. The devices seem to have doubled. What am I seeing here? Is it anything significant? I’m interested as to how a simple slight rotation of the coin causes these “anomalies” to pop out like that on the letters T, R, & U? Is it anything that should be taken a closer look at and is it considered hub doubling? I would tend to think so but that’s why I ask.
Thanks Bob. I appreciate all of your feedback. Maybe soon I’ll be able to find and bring you something yet to be discovered. I’m like you I think the 1972 series could have more to offer yet.
Last thing, the 87-D RPM I sent you pics of. Is it worth my time to send it to Jason and pay the fee to have him consider it for attribution? Let me know what you think.
Thanks for Everything Bob,
Don
