!!!!1972 double die penny!!!!

[rustydigger]

Went to a local worldwide burger joint got this back in my change. I About had a heart attack! Its a strong doubling and the penny is in great shape going to have it appraised any suggestions on who to send it to?

That's a well documented error. Probably worth a couple hundred dollars.

It's a nice 72 DDO for sure. I think it's a die #1. I owned one once. I'd send to PCGS but you need to be a member to do so. Your local coin dealer can do it for you.

Sweet! That is at least a $250 error coin.

 

[Metal Magnet]

nice strong doubling on that - you're going to be paid handsomely for your keen eye! great job.

 

[gwdigger]

Thats a great find. Someone must have gotten into an inherited coin collection and thought it was just spare change. That happens a lot. Good for you.

Hmm, I wonder how a Memorial cent would look on the banner?

 

[Yinzi50]

[rustydigger]

Great find. I look at every coin that ends up in my pocket as well as the coins in the penny bucket in the store looking for a coin like that.
