1982-D Small Date Double Die

The 1982-D Zinc cent has a DDR on them:

A nice one! I've not found one yet.

1982-D Small date zinc cent

Ya got somewhere... just, don't take pix off of screen, too much pixellation. I use much the same setup it looks like, Have Adobe photoshop to manipulate pix to size and clarity and software that came wit scope to capture and transfer to laptop:



To critique your pix... notice you have both typical shelving and shearing Mechanical Damage, not a doubled die (note previous post) as marked on your pix in red/yellow. Not a Doubled die, sorry, but keep lookin' you"ll find one.



Hope this all makes sense. Another factor working on your coin is Die Deterioration, wear also can look similar to a shear effect, reducing the sizes of devices:

P.S. Oh and by the way can someone tell me how I turn on my email if it's off but is supposed to be on ?

hard find, in your profile page on left is email.

As to "types " of doubled dies, Charles Daughtrey (coppercoins.com) in his book "Looking through Lincoln Cents" describes the different doubling very well. I'm assuming you're talking about rotated hub,distorted hub, design hub, offset hub, pivoted hub, distended hub, modified hub, tilted hub, shifted hub...these are the 9 classes of doubling recognized by the industry(in order 1-9, as listed). These on some sites as Wexlers doubled die.com use the Class reference. At times there may be more than one class involved. All this does is indicate direction, location and appearance of that coins doubling. When we refer to Machine(mechanical) doubling, that is not "Die doubling" where the "doubling" is the product of die PRODUCTION, the "hubbing " or stages of die production. MD happens when the coin is struck, it is strike damaged. How it was explained to me was when the hammer die is moving down to strike, it can make a vibration "jump", or "Chatter" which can cause a shifted second hit on that bounce(possibly multiple) creating a "shelf" flat, squared off. If on the upswing, if it is loose and moving sideways, the edge of the die devices may "drag" against them causing that "shearing effect. Both these processes will make the devices appear smaller than the normal device. They can happen in reverse order, go in multiple direction, no set standard. When hub doubling happens, the die devices have been INCREASED in size(total width), as in rotated hub class 1 as seen in 1955P, 1972P & 1969S classic examples. When you have other combined classes, you get notched letters because not only was hub rotated, but shifted up or down per say. Then you have "doubled ears, in center of devices. This is the depth of doubled dies, remember KISS, keep it simple stupid! That's what I go by. Are devices increased or decreased in size, are directions same, is it on more than one device, is it shelf-like or rounded. 99% of the time that works. The other point I go by, is my "find" listed anywhere? There is a 1:100 BILLION or more chance of finding an unlisted DDO,DDR,RPM. Other errors like Cuds, crack and craters show up all the time, those that happen in the process of coining...not errors related to the making of the die. My bedtime...

Hardfinds80,
With all do respect,it seems you do not want to here what the pros like Coop are telling you. I have read your posts that's how I know.Everyone that answers your post are giving their Opinions,some know what they are saying and some not as much. But when someone like Coop tells you something you can take that Opinion to the bank.
