brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 10/08/2007 07:12 am Ziggy has launched a mad frenzy for the 1982 small dates. I've found several, and this particular one has some kind of doubling. I'm sure it's a poor man's or Machine Doubling, but please take a look anyway, and let me know what you think.. What I noticed the most was the C and A at the end of America. Here's a shot of the obverse... Report this Post to the Staff

Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 10/08/2007 1:03 pm My best guess is 'die wear' doubling. Mechanical in nature. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 10/08/2007 3:20 pm Might just be the photo but note the lump above the M? S at tend of states is doubled? Second T in states appears fatter than the first one. Odd verticle line (l) maybe in between R & I in America. Strange vertical line on the front edge of the C in America. Like I said, might just be the photo. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/08/2007 5:19 pm It's not hub doubling. A lot of wierd stuff happened in the early 80s on cents, not all of it I can answer for in any specific way other than to say what it is definitely not - a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 10/08/2007 5:19 pm I have learned that it is NOT a double die, but machine/shelf doubling. Oh well! Thanks for the replies! Report this Post to the Staff

adobero1 Valued Member United States 363 Posts	Posted 10/09/2007 12:41 am I went through about six 7 coin variety sets today, didn't find a thing! I must have put them together when I was green, I had a couple of large dates where a small date should be! I have a feeling your uniqueness will always be safe with me!
