Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/01/2017 8:40 pm to the family! First, yea better pix, practice a lot with focus and lighting. Second, 1982 has no "listed" doubled date for large or small date copper or zinc P mint. Doesn't mean there isn't one , but would usually show up on a better condition coin. Yours looks smashed in circulation, worn down as well which makes it harder to see doubled die indicators. Check out http://www.coppercoins.com if you already haven't. That site has most listings for doubled dies (DDO,DDR, OVD) and repunched mintmarks (RPM). Happy hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
Daisymae115 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/02/2017 12:44 pm I have studied a little more about it. And it does seem to have a shelf like appearance which would mean it is a mechanical doubled die...I think.... Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff
Daisymae115 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/02/2017 12:48 pm John1, it is a Carson digital microscope 2.1 It is pretty old but actually loaded on my windows 10 laptop. Works really well for looking for Wide AM vs. Close AM. .....which I have yet to find.... but I have only looked at a few thousand pennies. Report this Post to the Staff

Try to always start with 1 clear pic of the full obverse and then start closing in on the area in question and post 3 or 4 pics including the full obverse to start with,good luck!
