Good afternoon gentlemen this is Cody Wright.
I am new at coin collecting.
I need a little help identifying this one. It’s really hard to get a good picture.

Yes it is a double die! Nice find. Not sure which one it is. Your cent is in pretty bad shape, don't know how much of a premium it would have in the condition. Let others chime in.

You can go here to try to match up which one it is. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20 ... 201972.htm

Thank you gentlemen with your help I have narrowed it down to two different possibilities.
I am 43 years old and I have never been part of a forum before so I appreciate you guys.
I’m open to your opinions on the value maybe 100 bucks ?
I’m not really computer savvy I don’t have a Facebook a Twitter an eBay account nothing.

Let’s not make assumptions of the value in this matter, use Ebay sold listings for a realistic idea of what has been paid for examples of this variety in this condition.
I am confident that this coin is worth well below $100.

1. If you find an exact match at varietyvista.com, then you will be able to search online for a sold one of that DDO.

2. Just so you know...this is a doubled die penny (don't forget the d :D ). The die it was minted with had a doubled image on it.

3. :character-cookiemonster: I had to correct your title so it would be meaningful for the forum's search function.
Please take the link I put inside your first post so you know what the forum guidelines are and no corrections will be needed in the future. Thank you! :D

4. Anticipating you next question and giving an answer:
Yes, sending a coin in to get it slabbed will likely mean if it sold it would bring in more value science people tend to pay more for a slabbed coin. But the cost to get a coin slabbed is high enough that sending in this penny to be slabbed would probably leave you n the hole financially.

5. Nice find! :clap:
