Lincoln cent 72 p double dies

[edarrich]

How many variety doublings are known for the 72 P lincoln cent and how do you determine differerence?

I think there are 10 or 11 doubled dies known among 1972 cents. The differences can be subtle and are described on Variety Vista (http://news.conecaonline.org/index.htm) and coppercoins (www.coppercoins.com).

There are the 9 classic DDOs listed in the CPG which include 8 class I and 1 class VIII. There is one other class VIII listed by CONECA (DDO-010).

Wexler and Crawford both list an additional class I (a tad more minor than DDO-005) and something like 6 or 7 class VIIIs all with an extra bar of the 2 and similar to DDO-009.

The sources Mike outlined should help clarify...
