That's not the DDR, unable to post pix of actual, but eyesight indicators are 1) last S in STATES top is skinny, bottom fat 2) C in AMERICA is skinny top curve, fatter on bottom curve 3) I in AMERICA thinner at top than bottom. 4) under 7x magnification E PLURIBUS UNUM is clearly doubled

This ain't it, sorry, try again.

to the forum!

I do not see a doubled die here.

Looking at the devices closely, I think I can see some Mechanical Doubling on the O of ONE.

Send it to a third party grading company to get it certified.

It does not resemble the rare and valuable DDR to me, but if you are convinced otherwise, getting it certified is the only answer for you.

It is difficult to see the details in your photos.

You can use one of the top four companies.
They are PCGS, ANACS, ICG, & NGC.
These companies all have websites that show the grading process and list the associated fees.

If it is that one here is what to compare it with:
1982-Small-Date-Zinc-DDR
If it doesn't have this exact doubling, it is not that die. Closer images will show us more. No use in sending in a common cent to ge graded. Get images this close and we can help you before you send it in.
Rest in Peace

Well, Coop got up earlier than I to post the one one only listed DDR pix...

On OP's pic, two items of interest even through out of focus.

1) right upright of ONE, isn't doubled, that would be seen

2) first you in UNUM, OP's left side has a hit, giving "effect", doubling shifts right on all letters on center devices.

You really want to spend $20 just to be told by TPG it ain't what you're sure it is? Like the comments said above, better pix for us to check OR take it to someone local who will verify. It really isn't a doubled die coin, took PMD hits and has possible Die Deterioration causing letters to"expand".
