OriginalAtog Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 12:19 am I'm looking at a 1983 Lincoln Cent and can't tell if I'm seeing MD/DDD or an actual doubled die. I'm mainly looking at the United on the back. There is what looks like MD on DDD on the word cent. I also see a die crack on the corner side of the monument. The Penny is a bit dirty, so I sent it to the Acetone Spa to try to get a better look when cleaner. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

OriginalAtog Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 04:59 am Thanks! That's what I was thinking. It just looked a little odder than the normal MD that I've seen. But I am still learning here :) Report this Post to the Staff
