Cool looking cent, clearer pics would help!
The U in United looks flat.

 

What do you mean flat?

 

Looks shelf like. Worn Die with some MD.

 

Hi, I found a similar coin in other forum but it is a 1982 one cent DDR and there was less overlap. In some images your coin also appears to be a ddr and in others not, then, you need to take pictures less shiny and less blurred , if possible, with right angles in all of them. It is a interesting coin.

 

1983 D mint mark

 

Did you see it on coin community?

 

This has got to be a new discovery guys I mean come on, look at it...

 

Yes, Coincommunity. Sorry,You need a third opinion. I think that this coin is a type of die variety, I can see rotation, in my opinion is a differentiated DDR.

 

I think you've might have seen that post of my 1982 cent coin, but it was ruled out for the fact that it was a large date 1982.
Also in your opinion, where would be the best place and or people/person to take this to somebody's attention. one more thing, what's a differentiated DDR?

 

Hi! In the past there were emblematic cases of doubling, there is a devotion around these cases that is difficult the same devotion with similar cases in new coins, there are also a lot of secondary cases of coin errors being reported daily and maybe this is the reason why there is less attention about the your case. If someone assumes that there was an error in the coinage "Lincoln penny 1955", so its easier to say that there is an error. If its worth, so seek a professional evaluation like ( PCGS ,NGC), they have instruments most appropriate because is very hard to see only in photos. About the differentiated DDR is because its more pronounced in some letters than in other like, for example, this 1982 coin in the following link;

In my opinion the pics are not clear enough for me to say hub doubling. There are instances that doubled dies have machine doubling present. But, even if this was the case, I would think that there would be known examples of this Particular DDR. You have too much light on the subject coin, @Insider says that fluorescent light is the best, I know nothing about scopes. @Rick Stachowski

 

thank you very much

 

Florescent light takes the glare and reflection off the coin. Both can make a coin's relief look doubled.

 

Thanks for the info, so any suggestions on how I can take a picture the correct way?

 

What about natural sunlight?

 

Hi guy, My opinion was based on the first pictures, it seemed to be a hub error, mainly on "UNUM", but the last ones were decisive for me, there is no clear separation line on the spot, it looks a flattening typical of machine doubling.
