The obverse of 1972 Double Die Obverse Pennies features a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. In this design by Victor D. Brenner, we see the 16th President of the United States in right-profile relief. The design debuted in 1909 and has appeared on every US penny since then. Inscriptions on the obverse read In God We Trust, Liberty, 1972.
On the reverse side of 1972 Lincoln Pennies, there is a depiction of the Lincoln Memorial. Originally, the Lincoln Penny featured ears of wheat on the reverse, but that image was replaced with the Memorial design in 1959. Inscriptions appear on the reverse reading United States of America, E Pluribus Unum, One Cent.
Double-die coins were popularized with the 1955 Lincoln double-die cent. In fact, this unique 1955 coin in some ways launched the obsession with error coins among collectors today. These unique coins have a double image caused by the hub striking the die in two different places. When the die then presses against the planchet to create the coin, a unique overlapping design occurs. These 1972 pennies are another notable example of this occurrence. If you’re interested in double-die pennies, 1995 is another year to seek out.
