1982 P DDR small date new variety?

I've discovered this 1982 p small date (zinc I believe but it looks copperish in the photos i need to go home and weigh the coin in order to clarify this). The coin exhibits a spread that is nearly an exact opposite to the die variety known as "1982 p zinc small date wddr-002".

The doubling appears most prominently on the South
then Eastern side of the devices on 'United States of America'. It appears 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' is also slightly doubled at least at first inspection. .

This post is regarding a DDR not a DDO so I only included the obverse image as a positive identifier of the coin for purposes and thus felt it unnecessary to return home in order to take a higher quality photo.

Also I will rotate and crop the image accordingly in future posts.

So this is the only comment I receive is a complaint over the clarity of the image in the post and the articulation of the subject matter therein.

 

Update on this posting: The coin pictured above is a small date copper coin. As far as I have found via Coneca and Wexler's there are no known doubled die varieties for the coins of the Philadelphia mint, in the small date variety, on a copper planchet. Am I correct? Also the doubling is not very readily visible. Zoom in to the reverse photos above to view the points of interest I have named previously.

I hope its a new variety!

 

Well IMO based on the photo's you provided it appears to be DDD ( die deterioration doubling) as far as weight zinc or copper just weigh it. JMO

I'm not seeing a DDR.

 

nope

 

The 2 is very strange looking. It's straighter than this photo.

 

Maybe machine doubling on the A in STATES?

 

Sorry I missed the that you stated DDR.

 

I just dont see it. See no full letter doubling. Ain't that a must?

 

So, @XanthenX, you post crap pics in an OP (where you are asking for help) @ 2:34 am & at 4:52 am you're upset that the only response you received is about your crappy pics!

You're lucky you got what you got! Next time, prepare an adequate post BEFORE you submit it, then allow time for people to actually see the OP.

Sheesh! I have put you on "ignore" already. Usually I give newbies at least 2 cracks at it, but I don't like your attitude!

 

It was supposed to have been dry humor not an attack against the individual who responded. I'm sorry my attitude bothers you; let me go change my entire psychological architecture and I'll get back with you after my reeducation geared only to suit your needs. I guess I didn't address the complaint with a reasonable compromise to make sure my future posts were embedded with higher quality more suitably articulated photos so that the membership may better evaluate the identity of my coins.

To all of you who did respond constructively thank you. Your feedback is very much appreciated and wanted. I am learning this art and every last bit of your knowledge and opinion is accepted. Even the righteously indignant persons.

Note: I did intend for 'persons' to be plural, in case more come along; and thus the absence of an apostrophe.

 

I agree about it just being DDD. Doesn't appear to be a DDR.

 

Damn. Good catch. I can see that

 

this is my copper small date DDR
I haven't seen anything like this before.
Any help?

 

Your cent looks to be Die Deterioration not true Doubled Die Doubling. But I really like the Misaligned Die Strike on the Obverse.

 

I'm thankful for your reply I honestly didn't know what I had.

 

Look at the 8 then
