This is one of the tricky years. The large date copper coins devices look wide, but they a normal. Here is a side by side of DDO and a normal coin:  |

Okay so basically this coin just looks the same as the Double die but is normal because it's a large date? How do you
tell it's a large date? Now I sound really
dumb lol

Mdnyte, it never hurts to ask questions. You can do some research online, which is what I did. The 2 in 1982 looks different when you are looking at Large/Small date. Try using this graphic to help determine.  |

Have a second look at Coop's pictures above; Normal vs DDO. You can see a spread in the DDO picture that's not there in the Normal picture. That is what you need to be looking for. Good luck! |

Also, on a large Date 1982 the 2 is closer to the RIM.
On the small date, the 2 is further away from the RIM.

Thank you, I'm confused though. To me the 1882 I posted looks DDO to me but my impression is the large date resembles the DDO but is actually normal for the large date? Am I right with that? I'm still learning hetr and probably will be for a long time. |

Correct. The size of devices can vary in different years. Seeing what is normal for that year, helps us to realize that they are common. Common = normal price. IE: the 1972 cents from all three mints have an issue with master die doubling. A very large percentage show, this reducing the value to what it says on the reverse of the coin.

Yes, but understand that the Normal and DDO pictures posted above by Coop are both for Large Date 1982 specimens. |
