wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 10/25/2007 04:23 am I am pretty sure that this is a doubled die 1983-P Lincoln. I do not know what classification it is. It looks similar to the one on coppercoins site that is listed as 1DO-006, but also looks alittle like 1DO-008, would really be interested in what others think. Sorry about the amount of pictures, but I want to give all the information I can give. There appears to be no doubling in the date, and the R in Trust is very slight.

I'm looking at one in the CP's Guide that it could be, which is the only reference I have for this kind of thing. Edited by adobero1 10/25/2007 11:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/25/2007 12:51 pm Yes! Definitely a doubled die. No question about it. There are five different DDOs known for 1983P cents. I can say this is not #1 or #2, but would have to see the coin to tell which one it actually is. Report this Post to the Staff
wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 10/25/2007 2:23 pm YES! Finally, a real find, after about 5000 rolls. It's a good thing this thing doesn't have a camera, since I am doing the BANANA DANCE. Edited by wrongalot 10/25/2007 2:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 10/25/2007 6:13 pm Actually, there are more than seven different DDOs on 1983 Philly cents. The one you have is definitely one of them. I can't tell you which. I have the discovery coins for 6 and 7. Report this Post to the Staff
adobero1 Valued Member United States 363 Posts	Posted 10/25/2007 7:41 pm Of the 3 DDO's pictured in the CP's Guide, this one most closely matches the one they call in their system FS 035.2, but they only have 2 pictures to look at. Everything on your coin matches the 2 photos they have pictured, from what I can tell. I lightened your photo of Liberty a bit to see if there was something doubled inside the upper loop of the "B" and I thought it brought something out. On their photo there definitely is a doubling in there. Report this Post to the Staff
