This one caught me by surprise. What also inclined me to post this is that I remember awhile back that SamCoin mentioned if the E in WE has very thin bars, it could be a DDO.

Thoughts?

But that is the normal size of large date copper devices. The DDO are even larger:

Jim Thought the same thing:
1982-LMC-Enlarged-Devices---DDO?

But what you do have is an earlier die state coin. Note the size of the devices and fields. It is a keeper for that alone. I've seen another one before:
1982-LMC-Enlarged-Devices---DDO?
And they thought they had a DDO. So Most often the EDS coins are mistaken as a doubled die as the devices look so fresh.

Oh I see, alright thank you Coop. The glare made it seem larger to me compared to other 1982 cents that I've looked at.

I guess I kind of thought it looked like WDDO-004

I'd like to know where SamCoin said something like that.

Interesting Coop. How many EDS coins were struck of the 1982, roughly? I'm curious why it makes it a keeper.

Probably less than 40K for the die that struck your coin.

Wow, the fact that this was one of the 40,000 coins struck with a fresh die is pretty nice. Most 1982s are just crappy lol.
