Found this in a jar of coins I have been meaning to look into further....
trying to get better pics, but my setup sux I think its the same as the one below listed as a Die #5.

Any links for the DDO's ???

Just won one on ebay and got in the mail today.......earlier die stage so better doubling noted:

I have a PCGS 72/72 and it doesn't look like that. I think yours is the common type of doubling, not the one collectors pay premiums for.

Yeah, I know its not a Die 1....i was wondering if its was a 2 or 3 or 4 or whatever....thanks man.

I don't see any doubling or serifs, where do you see it??

to me the N form IN looks like its recut or something, I thought it was doubled a bit.....are my eyes playing tricks on me under a 17X lens?

Hello,
On the varieties that show doubling on the motto, it's quite obvious......
May be photos here LINK....

What you see is master die doubling, also known as Die #5. This is best seen on IN and the first T in TRUST. Very, very common and worth no premium.

You hit this nail on the head. It used to be referred to as MD-5-O-I-CW+II-C, master die doubling, die #5. They have reworked the system to disclude the master die doubling, so they took it out of die #5 and gave it a new die number for master dies, MD-1-O-I-CW+II-C (P, D, S, PR)
. Die 5 is now filled with a rather new discovery that used to have a die #10 designator, but when the master die doubling came out of the #5 spot, die #10 filled the void.

Yep, its die number 5

I hope you didn't pay much of anything for the one you won on ebay, there is no premium value for this doubling. Well over half of all 1972 cents are like the one you show.

$1.04 including free shipping...... I would say I didnt overpay.......
