I'll guess around $800 with the reserve unmet.

Funny looking NGC slab

I take it that they guy made a mistake in that the coin is in a PCGS holder not an NGC holder.

Wow!!! It's hard to believe they come much nicer than this.

This would be an outstanding condition for any '72 cent, much less The DDO.

I just had to look a MS-64 I have,PCGS. That is one nice coin.

Probably less than it would have been had he titled the auction correctly. If that's a consigned coin, the consignor might not be too happy.

This is an average MS-66RED 72 DDO. Clean, bag-mark and chatter wise.

The red is deepening in color so a close eye must be kept on the color of this coin.

I happen to own 3 in MS-66RED (also PCGS) and multiples in each grade from MS-63RED through MS-67 RED and most of them are more coppery in color. Very hard to preserve.

I would pay closer attention to the spots under U of TRUST and the two well below LIBERTY. Also there is some discoloration on the reverse in the fields and waht appears to be condensation stains on each side of the E PLURIBUS UNUM. Also Lincoln's cheek needs further examination.

Still going to garner a decent price.

Oreville: I didn't know they came this nice. I guess the pops are pretty low.

How would you rate the strike (obv and rev) on this coin?

Why does PCGS sometimes label them differently...

Sometimes simply as
PCGS MS64RD DOUBLED DIE OBVERSE

and sometimes they use the FS designator...
MINT ERROR PCGS MS66RD FS-33.52 DDO

Assuming both coins were graded the same, is one worth more than the other? I know there are various dies for this error and the amount of doubling can vary.

oreville

cladking: Very good strike. There are stronger strikes out there particularly in MS-67. Obverse: Lincoln's shirt shows typical weakness. Hair above ear looks flat. Reverse is very nice and strong strike for the grade.

But the obverse is where it is mostly about.

oreville

rlawsha: Only the DDO #1 variety is the one PCGS calls the Doubled Die cent. There are numerous more minor varieties of the Doubled Die Cent and PCGS labeles them as such to avoid potential confusion.

So is the PCGS slab WITHOUT the FS-XXX designator usually worth more?
