72 Double Die Cent: Question on Types

Dennisl

Can someone tell me where I can find a listing of all the die types ranked from least doubling to most doubling for the 72 Double Die Cent? Can any of these Die Types be used in the Registry to fill the 72 Double Die Cent?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dennis

Well, not exactly. I mean, there are still disputes on the numbers of 1972 Double dies. Last count was 10, but that included Die number 5 which is not a doubled die, but a master die. Coppercoins.com will help, and the Cherry Pickers guide will give you picks and you can determine which ones are most doubled. But for sure, only DDO # 1 is the ONLY DDO that counts in the registery and DDO # 4 is the scarcest.

Perhaps Chuck or RB can chime in.

Just in case some newcomers are reading this, the most thorough and astoundingly informed Lincoln Cent site out there is Chuck Daughtrey's www.coppercoins.com site, the one WaterSport mentioned. Chuck'll know all there is to know about the 72 DDO, or any other Lincoln variety questions you will ever have.

"...Last count was 10, but that included Die number 5 which is not a doubled die, but a master die..."

The Die#5 in the Cherrypickers guide IS a master hub ddo BUT the NEW die#5 listed on the CONECA site is NOT a master die ddo.

The only one PCGS accepts into their registry set is FS-033.3/Die#1.

There are 9 Cherrypicker varieties (using the OLD numbering system):

FS-033.3 (the most popular one with the strongest doubling BUT only worth about 50-75% of a Die#4 in grades up to MS66RD)
FS-033.52 (the most valuable after 4,1, & perhaps 5)
FS-033.53 (the most common)
FS-033.54 (by far the rarest & most valuable in grades up to MS66RD. Unknown in 67RD or higher. Doubt it's value would surpass the "registry effect" of a 67RD die#1)
FS-033.55 (if the NEW one - as mentioned above - VERY scarce)
FS-033.56 (3rd most common)
FS-033.57 (4th most common)
FS-033.58 (the 2nd most common)
FS-033.59 (in the middle of rarity & value. The "big one" of the "little ones")

There are 2 other CONECA recognized ones:

Die#10 (10-O-VIII) & Die #11 (not currently liasted on the CONECA site but Ken Potter is working w/them on it)

My take on value/rarity irrespective of the intensity of the doubling: Die#'s 4,1,2,5 (or 5,2),9,7,6,8,3,10,11 (or 11,10)

A good LINK

Note: Coppercoins does NOT list Die#'s 4,5 or 11 (most notably missing Die#4 ) although I believe their Die#10 is CONECA's Die#11.

There is some inconsistency between the sites & what is known outside of these 2 sites.

IMHO, a REAL die#4 is the Holy Grail of 72 DDO's

As usual, the boards are a wealth of information. Thanks for all the information.

Any guess on grades or highest grade? I have one in a PCGS MS66RD holder. (made it myself).
