Or is it merely my eyes playing tricks and imagination running wild?
Had found this penny a while ago during CRH and popped it into my Danso 7070 album. Forgot all about it till I came across the following pics.
Your opinions please and thank you in advance.



The eye, Die Gouge above Shoulder Point etc. confirms it's a 1972-S DDO-001, PR-1-O-I-CW

My query found the answer on another thread

The pictures I posted from the archives do not tell the full story and my sincere apologies for the screw up.
A BIG Thank You to all those that responded.
Cheers.

    What exactly are your concerns about this cent? The S mintmark seems to have a thick tail but that may just be from a damaged punch

    No.

    Picture not clear enough, but I am thinking die chip or damaged punch for the lower loop of the "S".
