By looking at the condition of the outer portions of the coin, there is substantial die deterioration...especially on the back of the jacket and all area...

[mustbebob]

Very nice example of die deterioration. Thanks!

[mustbebob]

I do see it in your photos. In my opinion, it still looks like damage. It appears that something may have scraped the very top of the letter. It is also...

[mustbebob]

That is actually a very good question and is asked frequently, MD can look the same. Even though the die is loose, it may be such a small amount that...

[mustbebob]

Nothing changes form the opinion you received from CoinHunter. This is all MD. It is about as classic as you can get, and 1969 had hundreds of thousands...

[mustbebob]

It is indeed MD. Something to keep in mind was that there was Master Die doubling this year. Your coin may show a bit of that, especially on the upper...

[mustbebob]

That's because it is not an extra E. The anomaly in the mint mark is normal from the punch and the 2 is not extra high. If you had read about the master...

This coin appears to have been dipped in acid or some other corrosive. It has none of the diagnostics for a split planchet.

[mustbebob]

Unfortunately, this is all MD (Machine Doubling). This is a pretty strong example of MD, but there is no doubt that is what you have here.

[mustbebob]

The only thing I can see is the Master Die doubling which affects over 50% of ALL 1972 cents. I do not see any RPMs or any additional hub doubling on...

[mustbebob]

Sorry, but this is not hub doubling. It is Machine doubling as it cuts into the normal flame. Isolated MD like this is real hard for some to accept,...

[mustbebob]

Sorry...this one is outside of my area of expertise, but I am kinda curious about it now. We will see if someone else has an answer for you.

[mustbebob]

I am sorry, but you are incorrect. There is no hub doubling on this coin. Hub doubling never affects all sides of a device (letter/number etc.) Hub doubling...

[mustbebob]

This coin is not the doubled die you show. It does have the master die doubling for the date. Even the MD is in a different direction. However, what you...

[mustbebob]

Everything is cool. My point was just that the people who work on this forum do so because of their expertise. We were asked to do this because of our...

[mustbebob]

Classic machine doubling.

[mustbebob]

I really don't need to be told what to look at and what incredible things you might have. I don't say that haphazardly. I have been doing this for over...

[mustbebob]

This coin is not a doubled die. It has strong MD like so many coins from this year.

[mustbebob]

This is all due to damage and wear. This coin is pretty beat up.

There are so many options out there Ron. As far as actual storage, flips, 2 x 2s, albums, binders, etc. or any other methods that work for you is recommended....
