I was wondering if anybody on cointalk also posted over here. I'm se-collectibles over there.

Somebody here will be able to tell you what you have for sure.

Yes I think it's die 2.

Can't be 3 or 6 or 8 because those have doubling to the left.
Most of the others with doubling to the right like 4 or 5 or 7 are weaker and die-1 is stronger. So it must be die-2.

Nice find!

Big difference in price. 001 one of the highest, but 004 (Not pictured) is harder to find and prices vary greatly for these. 002 is a very nice one as well. The rest are easier to find. 003 is the first one I added to my collection. Loved the die scratches that makes it the easiest to identify. the 008 a tougher one to discern. Thus the images. Seems like these are the ones most people find. But there are more as well. Check the site for more images of these.

This one appears to be 1972P-1DO-002.

Values do differ from die to die, with 001 and 004 being the highest, 022 comes next, then all the rest are reasonably level in value. I believe once people really start to realize how rare 009 is, they will start rising in value.
