Looks to be a normal cent but the pictures are blurry. Can you get better pics and have you confirmed the markers?

Am trying to take pictures from my point of view. Can be seen by the naked eye. For this I wanted to show even though through plastic and all. I know it's a sin. So, as I was sitting here thinking and looking down I thought why not try to show as it looks. Since CamerA on phone is damaged or something. Maybe scratched the lens trying to clean it to get better pictures who knows. Or just the way it is. Posted new topics for suggestions on 16 megapixel camera or USB. I want to pick up today at all costs. always check the markers on coppercoins. I feel at least three out of four of these should match. Driving me crazy to get details on Pics.

I can only speak for myself, I do not see what you are seeing, I see no doubling. Sorry but keep searching.

I'm just a little confused though. With all due respect I respect all your opinions as most are probably more experienced.
But in the first set of pictures the close up of one cent. Even though still bad even through my phone with a little zoom though separation just completely hard to see.
thickness and characteristics of the tripled letters as in the C in cent and and the E in cent and the E in one definitely show the shapes needed in the middle bar of the letter E. Which are much different number 2 and as you look at Memorial the right edge corner there is no line going to that rim. Which would show possible number 2. Help me coop.
I know you can't commit you guys as your reputation is online I'm ordering camera looking for your recommendation this morning.
Is this not able to be seen as I'm seeing it. I've taken another close look at these and Coop, they look very close to the post you made the other night what or picture in the post its 10 to the pictures on copper coins.
On the website show more detail in separation as your picture the other night you posted looked exactly like mine. which were little Thicker maybe do too the camera and picture taking same as mine.
Is this to a more uncirculated state the thickness of the clean letters and coin or otherwise. But closer to the pics you posted couple nights ago then on the website for sure. But no doubt.
and as for the last post: with those pics just trying to give A look down at the coins. thought it would help to give a natural look at it as I was looking at them. being able to see with the naked eye.
Thanks for your help any ideas on my suggestion

Don't. Please, just don't. See your bespoke thread - which I moved to the Photography forum - for more specific reasons.

Any camera that has a MACRO setting or close up setting should work absolutely fine. I use a SONY Cyber-Shot 8MP camera for my full images and they come out perfect every time I take my time, which is usually another 5-10 secs with a steady hand and a Walmart 12.95 gooseneck desktop lamp. For lighting.... Turn the flash OFF ! You can take the coins outside, in non direct sunlight and try pictures there. If you use inside lighting, see if you can place something over the light to soften the glare. It WILL make a huge difference. Also if you find a site that will allow you to host your pictures, you can avoid having to crop down your photos to below 100KB, and the pictures will be larger and we might get to see what you are seeing. I can BARELY see two possible spots - on "ONE" and "CENT", at the bottom of these devices. Its the very top pic. But they have to be clearer to rule out Machine Doubling.

Good advice Gary (re: picture taking). I do the same; just have to improve my mastery of taking nice pictures.

Keep in mind the overall size of the devices on this die should be noted as increased in size. I'm not seeing that on your coin. Here is a new image I created with 1. Machine Doubling 2. normal coin 3. The DDR you think your coin is.  So even with poor images, I don't see any resemblance of the 1983P-1DR-001.

Nice side-by-side Coop; illustrates the point well. On a separate note, I've a 1985 that I think shows thickening of the date details, particularly the 9 and 5 tails. Almost at the point of crying 'uncle'.
