    I recently went through a box of pennies, usually find 5-10 nice pickers. However last week I got a box that was full of oddities. I immediately went and got another box. Almost 700 wheats in 2 boxes. In one box were 4 1983 that I believe are double reverses. The first 2 pics are of the same coin, remaining pics are of the others, just the reverses only. Thoughts, DDR??

    None appear to be the 1983 DDR coin which has clearly distinct doubling.

    Its still not the 1983 DDR coin but looks more like machine doubling now.

    Consider the following photo's:

    Notice how clearly separated the letters are. Look at the separation at the lower left and right of the Lincoln Memorial. Your coin simply does not have any separation.

    Much thanks, never took notice to the seperation.

    You're welcome and not a problem. Some machine doubling can look very convincing and be quite dramatic:
