aneta Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 02/01/2016 1:14 pm I found this penny today, it looks like there is doubling in the center of all letters and year and mintmark, is this a double die? I was looking online and saw wexler's "1983-D 1¢ WDDO-001" and it looks like it. Tell me what you think? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/05/2016 06:12 am I think it has to do with a plating issue. The copper plating kinda "sinks" down. Need coop on this one. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
