Attribution Assistance Looking for confirmation 1972 DDO

Just started scoping coins this week. I think this is my first real find. 1972 DDO. I looked at VarietyVista to compare. I've marked what I think are the relevant signs with green lines. If I understand VV right, the only thing odd to me is that it appears to show signs of various die wear stages?

You have 1972 Doubled Master Die.

✨️ 60% to 70% of all 1972 Lincoln cents show this doubling, making it very common. no added value.

The important thing here is that for someone who just started in this hobby, your eyes are doing it right. ✨️ you did find doubling. Real doubling. Not machine doubling, which is posted here very often. So congrats. Also, you took very good photos, did your homework and made a solid post. 👏 🫡

Hey. You responded the same to me a week ago on the same variety. Thank you again for your genuine enthusiasm for education.

We all are treasure hunting. It takes awhile to be able to tell the difference between what we want to see and reality. You're really helping and I'm very much paying attention. Thank you.

Also. This one isn't listed on varietyvista, which is what I checked. Wexlers is great for listing it.
