1984 doubled die penny?

When I saw Seattle86's suggestion of putting an eyeloupe in front of your camera I thought that was a cockamamie idea, but when I saw the pictures in which you tried this the ONE CENT came out in great focus. May apologies to Seattje for for my doubts.

It is MD. Here are some pics of a 1981 MD I have. Same type of doubling.

 

Nice pictures. That is what it is. That is good to know for future reference. Thank you.

 

I'm sure there are some here who really can't afford to shell out the money for a decent camera set-up. The problem with the "loupe thingy" is that you need to have very steady hands, and for many, trying to hold a loupe and camera while snapping a clear photo isn't the easiest thing to do. All too often, these photos are blurry, and simply enlarging them makes the photo worse.

I use a conventional stereomicroscope, but when I bought it, the handheld USB scopes were just coming out and they were complete junk. Yes, they have improved a lot in the last 10 years, but why buy a new toy when the old one still works?

 

Nice RPM buffalo! What date? FWIW I think the OP's cent looks like a DDR.

 

It's a 36D.
