1972 DDO penny

[Patjoan Ad]

Good afternoon, I have found what I believe is a FS 104 penny, however I'm not seeing the die markers. Please help

I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing any doubling on your coin. Wait for others to respond.

104 is very rare. 104 is different with doubling going the opposite direction...people look at prices on 104 and immediately think they got one.... not so fast.

72 year was plauged with issues. The master hub had a doubling, which is pretty much worthless since it accounted for more that 50% of the coins minted...almost a billion of them. In my opinion, the way I tell if the 72 is a doubled die, is that you should see doubling on LI; in LIBERTY.

IF the T in LIBERTY looks odd, almost a top cross bar bulge, it's probably master hub doubling. Another to look for are the T's in TRUST. If it is a master die doubling, the Ts aren't about twice as thick as a normal T.

Many people call the worthless one billion worthless master hub doubling issue either 104 or 105...

Thanks for your response, maybe the pics were not clear, I am now sending additional ones.

Those are much better! Definitely a doubled die.

Thank you so much, how can I find out which of the DDO it is for sure?

I have a couple of the 1972 FS103s that I found coin roll hunting. I have looked at the images on Variety Vista and Wexlers a lot. From the photos you provided, yours looks like the FS102. The doubling on the "W" in "We" seems to most closely match FS 102. Wish it was the 104 for you.

Hey Steve, hope you are having a great day. Happy that this is not as you suggest because the FS 102 is fully doubled on all the letters of liberty, the FS 104 is doubled strongly on the first four letters of liberty as is the penny in my possession, also the die marker on Lincolns bust on the FS102 is absent on this coin. There are also worn die cuds left of liberty- due to die state and as a result of circulation.

Goodday experts, is it possible to send this penny in to ascertain which of the variety it is? Also if a new variety is discovered for this particular year will they be alloted and recognized or is it a case closed scenario? Thanks for your patience.
