Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8243656, member: 105098"]Hard for me to judge from the pictures it could be a clashed die, it could be progressive indirect design transfer (PIDT) you'd need to determine which it is in hand. specifically what's going on between the columns on the reverse and if you can detect columns on the obverse at all. I'd also suggest you determine which 1982 cent is is. <ul> <li>1982 brass large date.</li> <li>1982 brass small date.</li> <li>1982 zinc large date.</li> <li>1982 zinc small date.</li> </ul>You'd get the weight first, that will narrow it down to Brass or Zinc. then you'd compare the dates to determine if it's ODV-031, or ODV-032. Obverse design varieties for the lincoln cent series are here:<a href="http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%202/Obverse%20Design%20Varieties.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%202/Obverse%20Design%20Varieties.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/Obverse Design Varieties.htm</a>the amount of "mush" to the reverse memorial and FG leads me to believe it's PIDT at a glance, just die deterioration. but it would take a closer inspection to differentiate and determine.[/QUOTE]
