    What do you guys think is this a 1983 DDO? One cent on back looks doubling to me

    First, and with all due respect: you may want to familiarize yourself with proper terminology.

    That said, I cannot see anything noteworthy.

    From the one photo of the obverse I cannot see anything that resembles a DDO. You would need to crop the different parts of the letters and numerals and then enlarge them good enough to see without distortion.

    So, you think it might be a DDR (Doubled Die Reverse), not a DDO (Doubled Die Obverse). Looks like MD (Machine Doubling) to me...no numismatic value.

    It might be helpful if the OP was to clarify exactly what he's using for his photos.

    Check out the link below and see what you come up with. Let us know and take it from there. I suggest this not to be rude, but only because you'll take much more away from the experience this way than you ever would from one of us just blurting out the answer.

    Cash works. ;) I kid, I kid....

    While there are others as well, it's really a great site so please do spend some quality time exploring it, not focusing only on the issue at hand. You'll also find a detailed listing of most varieties known to Mr. Wexler (it's not yet complete) and can be a great help when trying to determine if you've found anything noteworthy.

    Also, I very much appreciate you taking my suggestion as intended. Unfortunately we see lots of folks who would have been offended.

    A belated welcome to the forum. :)

    I believe what you are encountering is "parallax". It makes you see like its doubled because of the angle your eye is looking at it compared to a dead straight on look. A ton of coins "appear" to be doubled, but they aren't due to shine, finish, parallax view, MD, etc. Hope this helps.
