<p>[QUOTE="cubenewb, post: 1012667, member: 25644"]I never said I was 'so sure,' I just think it looks more like strike doubling. I can't really make out the offset text in "In God we Trust" that your picture is trying to allude to, and what does appear to be the offset letters doesn't appear to be on the same level as the original strike, which has always been an indication of SD in my experience. It looks flatter, and no where near as bold as it should be for it to be a DD. Here's a picture I found of a supposed 82 DDO:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/uploaded/300%20coin%20guy/20078884243_1982DDO.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one is doubled differently than yours is it seems. </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I never claimed to be right, I was just stating my opinion.
