>>

I think you mean 'smuggle'? If it were an MS67, then 'snuggling' may be the proper word.

I store it with my belly button lint collection

This is my first major DD for the set. But the set stops at 1982 - only copper memorials.

You should have been roll hunting like me back in august 1972 you could have gotten one for one cent, like I did. Now its a PCGS 63RB

I was 2. Pennies represented a choking hazard to me at the time

Great variety and nice coin.

I got one of my numerous 1995 DDOs from Burger King. Driving home from work (I was a bill collector at the time) one night and was hungry. Stopped in and got whatever I got and went on my way. I got home and looked through my change that night and discovered my coin.

I know I got it from Burger King because that was the only place I got cents back in change. I should have ran back and seen if they had more for me to pilfer through.

Oh, it now resides in an ANACS MS64RED slab. I did not really need to slab it, but it has more emotional value to me than anything else. Even if it is only worth $35 or whatever.

Nice coin, a '72 is in my eyes a very dramatic DD and and could be had at a reasonal price. I have one graded PCGS 64 slabed back in the latr 80's, I do belive it should go 65 but than again many of us feel the same about something we have.
