If it is a DDR it's not the big one for that year. John 1  |

DDR-001 is a Small Date variety, you have a Large Date coin.

So what does that mean? 1982 cents were minted with both a large date and a small date. They were also minted in Copper and Copper plated Zinc. There are a total of seven different 1982 Lincoln cents minted for circulation. You are showing a photo of a large date cent, the big doubled die occurred on a small date cent, so yours cannot be the big one. Also, the doubling on the 1982 DDR-001 is the second strongest of any doubled die in the entire Lincoln Cent series, so if you were to find one, it would be obvious. Edited by cwb

I'm just showing the date to determine weather it's a small or large date.

The date you are showing is alarge date justin-and I agree that I'm not seeing any doubling either-pics are little blurry but I believe you are seeing die deteriation doubling on some of the devices from what I can make out...also if you look at a couple large dates and small dates you will start to pickup on a discernable hump on the 2 of the small date(the hump is in between the base of the 2 and the upper loop on that part)

So your guys are saying there's not any doublind in here? That is what we are saying. Sometimes the light can create reflections that will look like doubling, sometimes the doubling is real, but it is due to Die Deterioration or Mechanical Doubling which are both worthless to collectors. Keep looking, there are many real doubled dies out there waiting to be discovered! |
