1982 D Lincoln Cent Sm/Lg.. ??

I'm getting better at spotting my doubled die varieties, but this one threw me off.. I am still a Newbie and am usually wrong but it looks like a large date over a small date.. Obverse and Reverse has errors.. I took the best pictures I could.. I apologize for so many pictures but the coin color looks so different in different lights.. And there are a lot of bubbles in different areas.. Especially on and by the date..Also a small 3 on the reverse top of building.. TY

That's just a definite Large Date.

No such thing as a Large date over Small date.

1982 had 2 types of Planchets.. Copper and Copper plated zinc.

I really don't see anything else but circulation wear and maybe a bit of a worn die strike. There are thousands of Cents just like yours.

The small 3 you are seeing is just Paredolia caused by a circulation hit.

 

Appears to be yet another crappy zincoln cent with plating issue, at least that's what I'm seeing.

 

The large date is easy to tell from the small date.


The 1960-D has a valuable small date over large date. But that's a different coin.

 

Quite a large number of photos, though.

 

Yours is a large date.

 

Large date for sure.

 

Okay y'all.. if you can't see the doubling in the date then I give up.. I know what I'm looking at and I wouldn't post it if I didn't see it.. sometimes I wondered if yall really even look at my stuff.. that's the whole point in posting so many pictures in different lighting.. apparently I need a professional phone to post something yall can see.. Thanks for the replies..

 

I think I do see what looks like a second "2" behind the "2" in 1982. But, often times, PMD can appear to look like something else. They can play tricks on our eyes. Firstly, I agree with you - you will need to post sharper and clearer photos. In the meantime, there is one thing I noticed. Looking at your first photo and focusing on the "2" in the date, I see that they are not the same height. I believe they would need to be for doubling. That's what I see anyhow - for what it's worth. Here's what I mean:



The "2" that is behind is coincidental damage, in light of the height disparities. But there is always the option of sending this to a TPG for verification and attribution if you desire.

 

There is no listing of a DDO of this nature in Wexler or VarietyVista... A 001 has a light spread in the date with other various gouges and scratches. However, this variety is only found in Zn cent with small date.

The 002 variety indicates a light extra thickness to the date with a strong extra thickness to liberty. There are also various gouges and scratches on the obverse and reverse. This applies to the large date Zn cent.

The 003 has a doubling of the ear.

I feel as though the lighting is too bright and creating spots directly over where you want others to view. The pictures also pixelate when zoomed in.

Just my thoughts...

That would help.

 

Your photos are not adequate to get a look at much of anything most times.

 

Thanks.. It is a destent set of 2 dates.. I have read all the stuff y'all told me to and can distinguish the difference in doubling a lot better.. I have actually ran across a few doubled dies that very clear in showing 2 of the letters but I wanted y'alls opinion before I sent anything off to be certified.. TY

 

You are funny.. you always take the time to answer me though and I appreciate that.. but you have to break stuff down a little more than usual for me to understand sometimes or I get frustrated.. lol.. but you have hung in there with me.. thanks

 

Thanks for the lighting advice.. And believe it or not I go to Verity Vista and Wexler and look.. I get excited and don't post the exact number like you just did.. but I do look for the places on the rim and try to match them up like your supposed to.. I thought I was doing really good with these pictures because I had just read to hold the coin up in your hand beside a 100 watt light bulb.. haha.. I just knew y'all were going to see the doubling in the date.. I will get it right.. Thanks

 

I'm older in age but have just begun a new hobby in coin collecting/looking for errors. I have looked through well over a thousand "pennies", with lots more to go through. I have looked through hundreds of quarters, with more to go through that I have rolled up years ago and before becoming interested in looking for errors and such, so have to go through those too. I guess what I'm saying is I have looked through thousands of coins recently and only found one DDO 1c and possibly a DDR 25c.

I do get frustrated when I think I see something and others say no... or don't respond at all. There is a coin I still want to make argument about and will when I'm off my work stretch and can do more investigation to support my cause, or discover something new to thwart it. I generically use "doubling" as a term, knowing that it is not the same as doubled under the circumstances I hunt for. You may see "doubling" and I do too with some of the pictures, but this does not appear to be doubled... IMO and using my novice eyes.
