1982 (Lmc) Copper Large Date DDO Found While Coin Roll Hunting

Great find bud congrats!

That looks like a nice one. Just when you think you'll never find anything BOOM, there it is!

Great find. I have not found a 1982 DDO yet. I would put it in an Ait-Tite capsule.

Great find! I haven't found anything major. Just a lot of minor. Congrats!!

Many times we keep looking for a doubled die, when they are not there. When you do find one, you realize how hard you would looking for something that wasn't there. When the read deal shows up under your glass, that fact hits you. They leap out at you when you do find them. All things fall into place about what you have learned here. Congratulations on your find.

So those who have not found one look at this one and think: "This looks like machine damage on the coin?" That point hit me also when I bought my example. But when you compare this to a normal coin, the truth comes out. The devices are enlarged compared with a normal coin.
Thus to me the need for side by sides became apparent:




The 1982 large date copper cents always looked enlarged, until you see images of this doubled die. Then you realize that they all looked like that, but the devices on the DDO are actually larger.

This die was probably one of my turning points in understanding varieties even more. The terms "enlarged devices", "Side by sides" and realizing that some years devices were different sized than others came into play. This die was a big event to me. It helped form my thinking. Thus I felt the need to help others to see what I learned at this time. Thanks for the memories.

Congrats, real nice DDO

Man, that's a nice one! Congrats!

Don't try with it with beer. Strange things starts happening:

Just keep an eye on this coin....
