It is flat and shelf like. A nice example of machine doubling.
First of all the doubling on Brians site for the 1968D is rotated from left to right. Yours is spread South on the bottom of the letters. Your...
Nope. It's called split plating doubling. It looks like doubling but it's just a split in the copper going into the zinc....
I don't see it either
Nice one Rick. I am sorry I always give you a hard time. It's all in fun. Tom
There is no such thing as a "double die mintmark". If the mint mark was punched more than once on the die it is called a "repunched mint mark" or...
It's beautiful! I was too negative and one should never say never. There is a chance of finding something new. Most (all?) the new people don't...
At least we have a lively discussion. Lol

Here is a 1983-P DDR-001 I found roll searching. Notice the true doubling of the letters. Compare them to yours. The 1982 should look like this...

Separate names with a comma.
