Thinking of sending this 1972 DDO in to a grading company but not sure if I should (dont have my red book on me) and i dont want to be sending in a coin for more money than its worth, anyone know if I should send this coin in? I'm guessing its XF and I'm sorry for the bad picture and I will try to get a better one.

Doesn't look like the Big one to me. I would keep it in a 2x2 not worth the cost.

It has strong doubling in "in god we trust"
Ill get better pictures
Yes. There are 8 different 1972 Doubled Died varieties. (If I remember right) Your most likely being the most common. They have little value in circulated condition as this. A few bucks to maybe 10 to the right person.
As mentioned, there are several 72 DDOs. This does not look like one of the valuable ones and I have owned 3 or 4.

It seems like a 003, 006 or 008. But thank you for saving me from spending more money.
If you say so, I can't see anything in those pics.
We need better pics of the coin outside the holder before we can provide any meaningful advice.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
It does not have to be in a slab to be worth keeping.
This is the DDO-001
Save your money. It doesn't look like this
The CONECA website is a good place to find out which die you have.

Hard to tell from the photos, but it could be die 8, based on the shape of LIBERTY and the date- this is one of the most common ones... I've been dispersing a hoard of several different dies of the lesser DDOs over the last few years, and am getting $20 - $50 for ANACS 63 - 65 red uncirculated ones. Yours is an $8 - $10 coin at the most- I wouldn't spend the money on grading.
"Poor man's" ddo, like the same in the 55.
I cannot see it in your picture, however, it may well be the minor as pointed out above. In that case, not worth slabbing. Cheers, RickO
The coin you reference isn't a doubled die at all-it's an example of die polish doubling and is of no value. There are nine minor to moderate doubled dies for 1972. These ARE true doubled dies but don't approach the strength or desirability of die number one.
This has strong doubling in the motto , but....
It sold raw for $10. It might be worth $50 for someone to get slabbed. Just not for me.
