Found a rare one Whoo! Whoo! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Searched $102 in CWRs and low and behold this was there...Boy was I excited (still am). It was 5 AM and I was doing a search yielding an extremely large amount of Cu (turned out to be 86.4% for a total of 8813 Cu out of 10200).

Awesome. I'm learning that it is worthwhile to check all 1972 cents.On the ddo1 the secondary image is spread clockwise to the primary.
I recently found one that was opposite that and turned out to be machine doubling :( The underlieing date had flat surfaces.
Hope you have a winner there,looks to be in good shape from the pictures,could be worth several hundered dollars :)

You should go back to where you picked up those rolls and clean them out! Take all their wrapped coins.Last time I ran into those high precentages
it was a old lady who turned in her recently passed husbands collection.

I did get everthing...I posted the story in the tracking threads section under copper penny hand sorting.

It is worth in the $250-400 range.

Congrats!

Every time I find what I think is a DD it turns out to be machine doubling. And, to add insult, they usually tell me it is a beautiful machine doubled coin. Just not worth anything.

Congrats again! Keep looking for more. There's treasure out there just waiting to be found.

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone. :geek:
