    I found two of the 1982 large date penny (I believe they are large date) with doubled die obverse. I also found a 1983 penny with possible ddo on #3. 1983 DDO on 3.jpg but not sure. 1982 Large date WE DDO.jpg 1982 Large date  DDO.jpg

    Maybe machine doubling? Im new to this. And trying to distinguish the difference.

    The 1983 doesn't look like it. I assume the bottom two pictures are the 1982 cent. These pictures DO look like extra thickness and separation, so I would say yes. It also helps to only post for one coin at a time and to include pictures of the entire coin for comparison. Machine doubling would look flat and shelf-like as many will say. Here is a picture that has helped me distinguish the difference, but this takes practice to discern sometimes. Another good reference is Wexler's website. Check out the 'worthless doubling' also on his site. http://doubleddie.com/58222.html
