1972 Double Die - 1972P- FS-102
Ok before we go into the long and short of it. As any Numismatist would tell you - look at the coin, not the slab. This coin has to be one of the most beautifully toned coins DDO or otherwise. Even the photos are extraordinary. So if curb appeal means anything, this truly is a unique coin. Ok now back to the data portion of the program.
Of the nine varieties, DDO 2 is second only to DDO 1 - which being #2 you would expect; however, as many diciplined numismatists know, that isn't always the case.
Like the 1972 DDO 1 the 1972 DDO 2 is a class I rotated hub doubling. Doubling can be seen on the date, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST.
There are over 9 different double die obverses known for this year. If it were not for the existence of DDO 1, DDO's 2,3,7, and 8 would be much more popular. The each show strong class I doubling. DDO's 2,4,5 and 7 are rotated counterclockwise, while DDO's 1,3,6 and 8 are rotated clockwise. DDO 9 is class VIII doubling.
