Hi @abelincoln64

This US cent was no doubt minted in Philadelphia where the "p" mint mark was not added to the US cent coins until 2017.

I can not tell if there is doubling. The photos are blurry to my eyes.

 

OP .
What are you taking these images with ?
Cause, I can't make out anything .

 

Sorry about the pics,. I'm using my cell

 

You need to pickup a cheap scope .

 

But I will say, does look like a DDO .
LIBERTY look thick to me .
OP, have you tried to match it to any of the ones listed on the variety sites ?

 

Yes I tried matching it but I'm new to this and not to sure about what's considered double die. And I will definitely pick up a scope, again sorry for the bad pics, I've stabilized my phone when taking a pick but still same results

 

It looks like it's on a copper planchet ?

 

Is that where it would have to be weighed to confirm which planchette

 

Yes, 1982 was the year the US Mint transitioned from a heavy copper planchet to the lighter zinc core with super thin copper plated planchet.

Notice the edge too on the lower right. I'm half asleep right now and my mind is blank.

 

try backing up to a farther distance, then use some zoom!

 

Wakey Wakey !!!

 

misaligned die strike

 

My money on a copper planchet ..

 

I'll bet you a BBQ lunch it probably is too ...

 

OP .
See if you can take a image of the date .
Just like this one .

 

That place looks good, ah ..........

 

Photos are too blurry and I'm particularly bad at detecting true DDO's but I'll venture a guess and say yes.

 

Here's a pic almost like that one, sorry about the color I put some light on it to try get pic like the one above but it made it pink but anyway here's a pic close to that one hope you can see it

 

The photos don't provide enough information, but I agree with Rick that LIBERTY, when enlarged, does look possibly doubled and it is a slight MAD (Misaligned Die).
