1982 doubled die on obverse date

I think this may be a real doubled die. I can't seem to get very clear pictures though. The features look rounded instead of machine doubling.

MD

 

OK, I am having the Hardest time with telling the difference.

 

The DD will have higher levels to the second image.

MD is lower & flat or 'shelf' like.

 

Yes, I know. These don't look flat when looking at the penny. I can't get good pictures though.

 

1982 was a tough year for coins being in a state of transition to copper plated zinc. A lot of anomalies appeared that year, but also quite few doubled dies. Sorry, but this is not one of them. Doubled dies also, generally have a fatter appearance and not so sharply struck. These pics are all 1982's

 

OK. Thanks!

 

Check these against what you have.

Here is what I have

 

Here is the second one I have

 

Can't tell with those pictures.

 

I figured. I can't seem to get them any clearer.

 

Can you get a clearer picture of the N from IN?

 

Sheila certainly don't throw that fish back in the pond just yet.

 

This is the best picture I can get.

 

And I say that because I have a 1982 small date I am trying to figure out that doesn't match anything reported. Yours is a large date, different animal I assume, but it looks like you have some splits. Hard to say from those photos but it sure seems like there are some.

 

There is the splitting on it. I just can't get a good picture.

 

Uhg. The more I look at what I was focused on the more I think machine doubling. Good eye though. I'd still throw it in a jar labeld interesting or something along those lines.

 

Ha. You posted while I was typing. Ok, keep it for now.

 

Ok
