Found my macro lens! have three better pics of the two in the date with a profile, looks like it has at least three layers? Thanks
coppercoins.com doesnt show any 82 DDO w/ doubling on the date W/ saying that, that is either the first or MD/PMD (which i am leaning to)
A doubled die is when a part of the image on the die that strikes the coin is doubled. All coins struck by this die will show doubling in exactly the same places. Machine doubling happens when a normal undoubled die strikes a coin, and the process of striking the coin causes doubling to appear; this usually occurs when one of the dies is a little loose. All coin with machine doubling will show subtly unique doubling patterns. IMO, your coin has machine doubling. The flat, shelf-like doubling in the image is a common characteristic.
Hello, I'm a kind of new member and I've found quite a bit of those 1982 pennies with the 2 doubled, and they only occur on the zinc ones. I've also noticed that the '2' always looks different than the rest of the numbers. Still, it is exciting to find anything that has a doubled image and that's what makes it so fun. I wish you the best of luck in your searches, as it's pretty much all luck. It's like fishing. You can have the best rod and reel, the freshest and best bait, but if the fish aren't there you won't catch anything. Same thing with coins. It's all a matter of luck, being in the right place at the right time (or getting that lucky coin in your change or a roll you got from the bank. You never know what you'll get. Happy hunting!
