MS70Error5 Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 7:05 pm The devices on the obverse of the coin are noticeably thicker than normal. I highlighted what I believe are separation lines and/or a "smaller" letter on top of the "big" letter, similar to the 1972 DDO I just posted. There is also a notch on the L in LIBERTY and on the 2 in the date. I welcome your input. Report this Post to the Staff

MS70Error5 Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 7:34 pm Yes, I see the worn die/machine doubling to the left of the L too. My arrows may be too far left on the L, but I was pointing to what looks like a notch at the very top left of the L. Edited by MS70Error5 07/06/2016 7:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 8:58 pm Looks like a normal 1982 large date copper cent. The devices on the normal ones this year already look larger than normal, but that is normal for this year. Note the three listed on coppercoins: 1982P-1DO-001 http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds 1982P-1DO-002 http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds 1982P-1DO-003 http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds To see how much the devices are enlarged, I made a side by side of the 002 with a normal coin: Note how much larger the DDO's are on this years coins. Your coin is a normal one. Report this Post to the Staff
tapapple65 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 10:13 pm Those 1982 DDOs are a pain. Especially when they have been worn down causing them to appear even bigger than normal. Report this Post to the Staff
MS70Error5 Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 07/07/2016 7:50 pm Thank you all for your responses. Those pictures helped with seeing how huge the letters should be, thank you Coop. I agree that the lettering is already very big on this year. Is the notching on the L and 2 die wear? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/07/2016 7:53 pm It maybe a contact mark. When you looks so closely with too much magnification, nothing appears something. On the 'L' that is the only device affected on LIBERTY. The overall size of devices are normal. So it is not hub doubling. Hub doubling enlarges the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
