1972 1C Doubled Die Obverse, RD MS66RD 认证号34382881, PCGS号2950

I have vigilantly searched all my change for the last 60 years (I am 69yo) looking for valuable coins. In addition, I was responsible for reconciling the cash register tills at my pharmacy workplace for 30 years and kept an eye out there also. I found lots of silver, buffalo nickels, and thousands of wheat cents, including all dates and mint marks except the 1909S vdb. The most valuable coin I have found, though, is this 1972 DDO Lincoln cent.. I remember clearly something catching my eye and I gave the coin a close look. I sent it to PCGS a few years ago for grading and was quite happy with the MS66RD grade. Current value is $1250. Not too shabby!

The 1972-P Doubled Die Lincoln Cent Type 1 is considered one of the major varieties in the entire Lincoln cent series. There are over 10 different doubled dies for the 1972 Lincoln cent but only the Type 1 is considered major.

Variety Attribution: The 1972 Doubled Die Type 1 can be easily identified as it has strong doubling to the South West on all four digits on the date. The word LIBERTY is also doubled towards the South. The words IN GOD WE TRUST on the obverse are also strongly doubled towards the East.

This variety is very popular and it is also strong enough to see very easily with the naked eye.
