Has this 1972 Lincoln been lasered to appear as a DDO?

There are minor varieties of the 1972 DDO that are not as valuable.
and some more so.

And let me clarify then. No, it doesn't look to be "doctored" or lasered to me.

Ok, let me clarify. I knew from the beginning this was not an authentic DDO. I have handled hundreds of them throughout the years, have a PCGS certified in my collection and have the books where I can verify it myself. If you look at my third post, I wanted to know if anybody can tell whether it has been lasered. Next time, I will be more specific. You do not have to post pictures of those you are sending in whenever they return.
That was sure my reaction. MICHAELDIXON doesn't know what a 72 DDO looks like?? Who are you, and what have you done with MICHAELDIXON??!!
Relieved to know it's really you.
As far as the question, I sure would have presumed it was a machine doubling, but you're apparently seeing smoething more atypical than I noticed.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
You should have closed this out and just started a new thread.
JMHO.

If in fact the piece was lasered,it's a very amateurish job of trying to make the piece look like an authentic 1972 DDO.
One reason for collectors to use a loupe at the show or in the shop is to try to make accurate assessment of pieces like this for what they really are.

I don't see how such an alteration would fool anybody who knows what machine doubling (extra $ value $0) looks like and is armed with a 10x loupe.

Any of them. Machine doubled.

I thought you were asking for opinions on if this was a doubled die of the other 8 minor varieties recognized by the cherrypicker guide. I do not understand what brings you to the conclusion that this coin may be lasered.

Why in the world would someone "laser" a circulated 1972 cent? And you've sent one of these MD examples off to ANACS and paid them to examine it?
