Yeah, it's not a pretty coin. When I'm going through a box, i make a pile of 1972s to check when i'm done. There are so many nice shiny '72s that i find, but it figured the cruddy one has the DD. But it's still an exciting find, I'd never found a doubled die of any type of coin before.
This is the page that I've been using as a reference:

I pretty much stick to the top 10 to keep an eye out for - there are WAY too many other errors if i looked for them all, it would take me days to go through a box!
Thanks. Other than those two, found just a few common wheats and a bunch of newer canadian cents (as usual). The weird thing is that I grew up near Detroit, which is just across the river from Canada, so canadian coins were very common to get in change - but i don't remember ever seeing an old canadian cent like that one ...so that was a good find for me!ibuildcircuits said:Nice DDO! And I love how sharp and clear the Canada cent is!! Great box! What else did you get from the box?
