1983 P Doubling , Or Like Doubling . You can see what you make of it

Think I've posted one before but for some reason this pops up on a list of Collectible Years and goes for in some Conditions upwards of 300$ so I imagine it can't be that easy ..Anyway here's some images in poor lighting , Let me know what ya think below

copper plating doubling
or mechanical doubling

It doesn't match the photos
of the PCGS photos posted

 

machine doubling. not worth anything.

 

Your Cent is NOT the same thing.. Sorry

 

Is the doubling showing up on both sides of the coin or just the one side? NOT obverse and reverse but anywhere else on the front.
Can you send a better pic straight on? If you can.

 

I'm curious.. Why?

Welcome to CoinTalk

 

Must have been a little wiggle in the chamber...shelf like..md...

 

What were the Doubling or Error on the PCGS done with ? Is Mechanical Doubling the same as Hub Doubling ?

What's the difference between them ?

 

Looks like copper plate doubling with a deteriorated die. Jim

 

Not at all.. Mechanical doubling happens during the striking of the coin.

Hub doubling occurs when the hub is created. Hence Doubled Die.

 

You need to comprehend what you are looking for before you search for something.

Here is information on Worthless doubling

Thanks for that graphic Ed.

 

I don't see any matchups.

 

It could be a die error. I was curious too

 

Afraid not.

 

@paddyman98 Sorry, hope I didn't offend. Tongue in cheek.........

@AdamKilledAbel Now, I don't know if this will help or not but there is a 1983 P cent that has a DDR. There are actually three years in a row that have DDR's. 1982, 1983,1984.
The one is doubled in all the letters and building. Since your pix are pretty slim pickings I am unable to check against any marks to verify. So head to here variteyvista and look up (see below)

1983 DDR-001
1-R-IV
FS-801 (036)

Its always up to you to do the work if you want it done right

 

A True Doubled Die falls under the Variety Category not the Error category. Just because it looks like the known Doubled Die does not mean that it is. The original Cent is clearly Die Deterioration doubling not a Doubled Die. So it is worthless doubling. It is not the example you shared.
