Ummm the photo is blurry.
You don't give us the year and mint to determine if this could be a double die reverse.
You can visit several sites to determine if a Lincoln cent is a doubled die obverse (ddo) or doubled die reverse (ddr).

Additionally, I have a few articles on my website. One is below in my signature.
Here is another.

It works best if the owner does some leg work as well. Typically a doubled die has one image slight shifted over another. It should show more than one split serif.
For 1983, there are two Doubled die reverses. Since you have the coin in hand I suggest you try to match up the coin to one of the examples on line. Remember, Doubled dies are made of metal, and the doubling does not move from coin to coin. What the attributer sees and the photos show, your coin should match up to the photos very close.

Coppercoins have only two doubled die reverses (DDRs)... they are on page 2, at the bottom.
