Very hard to see in photos.. Impossible. On letter "T" in Liberty on the left is a dent, multiple circling on the obverse by the bust doubling on the monument....and more. All the markers of a 1982 ddr but pictures are impossible for me. My camera and lack of experience make it extremely difficult. Wish I could do better.
Did you match the coin with any known doubled die? have you looked on "Coppercoins.com", "doubleddie.com", or "Coneca online e-books"? I have never heard of a 1980's coin that has a doubled die on the reverse as well as the obverse. "dent's, and circles" are not indicative of a doubled die. What are "all the markers of a 1982 DDR"? This is the only one worth real money: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1982&die_id=1982p1dr001&die_state=mds
I compared it to the one on coppercoins.com. 99% sure it's a1982 ddr. Plan to send it into NGC. I know some may believe I'm dreaming but I'm going to send it in. Nothing ventured nothing gained. I studied it for a long time.
Just so you know only two of those have ever been found. If you have it you are a very lucky person. If you don't have exactly 100% the same coin you are throwing your money away. We unfortunately can't help you since the pictures you post don't show anything other than a normal coin.
I started this hobby about 3 years ago. Someone gave me a 5 gallon water jug half full of pre 1990 cents. A lot of them were damaged, some were from extremely worn dies. Some were missing digits, and letters, some had strange distortion, and various environmental damage, MD, PMD, etc. I looked through them with a cheap loupe and thought I could retire with all the great "error coins" (oh was already retired). I submitted lots, and lots of stupid coins on here and was continually shot down. Along the way I studied the websites above, and continued to search. Slowly but surely I learned how to take pics for submission, how to distinguish different types of MD from die doubling, and a good idea of where, and what to look for in the different series of Lincoln Cents. I have found some really cool doubled die's in the wild, and it is a source of happiness that I set out to do something, and did it. The one thing that I learned more than anything else is that most die errors have already been found. The chance of someone finding a new doubled die are very small indeed, unless we are talking shield designs there are a few per year (not Denver). If I can't match a doubled die candidate to any listing I get skeptical. A good place to send coins for attribution that won't cost an arm and a leg is Coneca. If you join Coneca ($20 year plus you get a great magazine) it's $4.00 per coin. If you don't join Coneca it's $5.00 per coin. I thing a grading service charges at least 10 to 15 times that.. If you get one back from Coneca attributed you can then determine it's worth, and whether or not you want to slab it.
All of you are 100% correct. I thought to weigh the coin. It's 3.1 grams. Copper not zinc. better luck next time.
