An estimated 20,000 examples of the 1972 doubled die pennies slipped through the net, many of which are still in circulation. One of the most common minting errors, doubled die coins are created when the die imprints a misaligned image on the coin, giving the lettering and numbers a blurry look. The fuzzy effect is pretty pronounced on these one cent coins. They are worth up to $500 each.
