1972-S proof sets?

copperfan

Hi again, sorry for all the questions tonight, very busy here. Are there any varieties I should be looking for?

I am looking for double dies and rpm's and other cool errors, and I think I found a Kennedy half ddo. Ill try to get pictures up in a little while but figured there are so many experts here, someone would be able to help.



If you have any of 72-S varieties or pics of some, please feel free to post them.

There is a 1972-S double die proof Lincoln. Look at both LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST with a good glass to find the doubling. A minority of Proof 72-S cents have this doubling. That is the only recognized variety which I am aware of, but perhaps another forum member can tell you more.

I know about some of the Lincoln ddo's, I have I think one or two of the more minor ones. Im still gettng use to taking pictures. I have a zoom stereo scope. The thing is amazing. Thanks for the help Sarah.

You are quite welcome. If you are interested in similar information about proof sets from 1936-2005, David Lange's Modern United States Proof Coin Sets might be of interest. This book has basic information, mintage figures, and listings of many errors (such as double dies.) It's not particularly complicated, but it can be helpful for the newer proof coins and sets.

Look for a very nice DDO 50C-best seen on "WE TRUST."

Thats one book I dont have. Thank you for the help. Do any of the cameo's from this year command any decent money?

What about a triped die? Its not major but its there on "we trust"? On the 50 center.

There are three tripled dies listed on the CONECA site. All are relatively minor. The one I mentioned is much stronger-it is similar to the 1971-S PR 6-O-I and is a new discovery-I don't see it listed yet in CONECA.

This one is pretty nice, minor, but its got some nice cam on it. Are these collected or worth sending off?

Probably not worth slabbing, at least not for the doubled die.
