Here are some images of a 1982 large date copper Lincoln Cent. Is this a D.D.R. or M.D.D. or a combination of both?

Hi Hankster - to be honest with you, it appears to be machine doubling and nothing else.

BJ - why machine doubling and not die wear?Comment

This die appears to be EMDS or at the latest MDS. UNITED STATES is the more likely spot that will show metal flow lines, an indicator of die wear, which in this case, I do not see. Also die deterioration doubling generally forms away from the center of the die. The best example of this is the 1955 Lincoln cent with die deterioration doubling commonly refereed to as the "poor man's double die"
