No one should beat you down for not knowing something. There are many different types of doubling that can be seen on coins, sometimes it is the magnifier you are using that prevents you from seeing things clearly enough to know for sure which type of doubling it is. Many collectors use a 10X loupe, some just use a magnifying glass. I use a 20X loupe and a microscope for extremely close inspection. You can get a decent loupe for around $10.00. If you get the chance to go to a coin shop and see a true doubled die in person, it will help you understand what to look for. Mechanical Doubling seems to fool many people who haven't seen a doubled die before. Mechanical Doubling: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/m...oubling.html Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/16/2015 06:21 am I see a regular 1983 cent. What do you see as hub doubling? There are two nice DDR's this year. 1983P-1DO-001 1983P-1DO-002 Compare your coin with these images. I'm not seeing what you are seeing on your coin. The doubling should be the same as on these examples for a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
