It looks to be damage and/or corrosion of some kind; possibly with some foreign matter stuck in the corrosion.
It's not a doubled die.
Keep looking though--you won't find anything of value if you stop looking.
Wait so it's damage meaning it's not a number? It's foreign matter? Sorry but it's clearly a number 7. I think you should explain what you mean by corrosion. Maybe bad pics because saying corrosion can make that is like saying natural erosion made Mt. Rushmore. Thank you.
The 7 is fine, the green gunk is corrosion

My guess is a planchet flaw.

@Fee316....there is an accumulation of dirt or corrosion around the ghost 7.... it would need to be cleaned to evaluate what is actually there. Perhaps Fred Weinberg (@FredWeinberg) will join this thread... if so, he may have a ready answer or may want to further evaluate what you have. I do see the 7, I just do not know what it is caused by or how it can be explained. Cheers, RickO
Here's a 1972 DD ...
THanks guys sorry for delay. ..I am working on identifying but it's a lot to take in so I'm sure itll take some time. Thank you all for taking time to answer. I really appreciate it.
This one is not. Take a look on coppercoins for info on the doubled dies for '72-P.
Here is the 1972-P page Click on the "EDS" or "MDS" links on each to see pictures of them
lincolncentresource.com Also good info here

The green gunk is corrosion/verdigris.
You have a 1972 with some corrosion.
It isn't a doubled die.
If you keep looking though, you will eventually find something.
You have an eye for detail--I hope your persistence will pay dividends.
It looks like a dropped number, no real premium especially in that state of preservation..
I think you nailed it.
Dropped digit, it is.
