1983 Lincoln DDR or MMD ?

I checked Coppercoins and from their photos I think this is machine doubling but I wanted to check here before I threw them in the spend bin.

It appears to be machine doubling on both sides of the coin. If you have the equipment, could you get a photo of say the "A" in AMERICA and the "D" in GOD a little closer, to see if there is any split ends of the letters? Very fun coin whether is is or isn't! A keeper in my opinion.

This is a scan. I can't get that close up with my camera. I dont have time right now, will try to crop those areas tomorrow. First a or second a in america?

 

I would have to agree. It is MD.

 

I would like to see a close up of the 'N' on the obverse. Thanks

 

first "A" if possible. Thanks

Jim

 

Here's some more scans.This the best resolution I can get.

 

Don't see anything but a normal coin. Where did you see MD?

 

Here's a couple more views. I origionally was only looking at the reverse but the more I looked the obverse also looked interesting. I'm still under the opinion that it's MD. I haven't seen any before with both the obverse and reverse doubled however.

 

I think I was noticing reflections. Looks like a normal cent. I agree with Rockdude.

the -fg- seems very close to the building to me also is this normal?

 

Sorry for the false alarm guys.You're right, I took it to my shop and looked at it under more magnification. Gotta get me a good camera!
I guess I got the fever cause the day before I found this one. The die markers match up and I'm sure this is the real thing.

 

That's a good find.

 

Sweet '95! I'm still looking for my first one like it. Good luck on finding an 83 DDR. I bought a digital coin microscope on eBay. Check those out, they're great for searching and for pics.

I got the cheaper one from Hong Kong and it didn't disappoint.

Be sure to study the photo of yours "IN GOD ...." and notice the splitting ( doubling) of the serif ( like the bottom end of the "G"). That is one of the major indications of a true DD. Nice find!

That's the one with all the candy--great little find. :thumb:

 

I have been looking for a 95 since 95. No, just kidding. I have been looking for awhile though. Great find!

 

Thanks Desertgem and Rockdude for your help. Lesson learned here,better lighting and more magnification.
