1982D DDR

[Shleppodella1]

This is a 1982D 3.11g Lincoln penny with doubling in CENT. I looked it up in Variety-Vista but didn't see one in the DDR listing. 20240519_231617.jpg

the C looks promising from the image but in light of the NT i'm calling MD.

the other 2 DD aren't known for doubling in that area fwiw

pretty rare for a DD issue to be in different locaitons for any one year/mm. (but not impossible)

I'm working on getting some better quality pics out. I've gotten some EXCELLENT pointers on taking them. Did you notice the lower left bottom of the 'E' in CENT with its shelf?

In my opinion, It looks like worthless doubling to me. If the doubling was that much off you might have seen a thicker letters, and some should have had split serifs or notching. I see normal width letters, and shelf like damage, which I believe is worthless doubling.

I rarely say this, but it has helped people comprehend doubled dies a bit better. Trust the resources. If they haven't listed the exact thing your looking at, then it probably isn't a DDO nor a DDR. Sure new discoveries might happen once in many blue moons, but each Lincoln cent die can strike close to one million coins, and this one would have been found many moons ago if it was a variety.
