cjs0509_xl New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 11/12/2017 4:22 pm I have searched since I read the last one found was in 2007 and sold for a good price although the coin was graded an AU-55? I am no longer searching because I have found one. 1. Date:1982 2. Metal:Zinc Therefore it must be weighed, weighing about 2.56 g 3. The 2 in 1982 cannot look like the 2 I started number 3 with,but rather it Must have a curve which curves like half of a circle then straightens to join at it's base. Yes,E Pluribus Unum is doubled. Someone told me these were Machine Doubling. I pointed out" But the serifs are split.Machine doubling sometimes is flat and raised but not raised and rounded according to what I have been told. Let me know what you think? NGC has this variety listed. Should I send it first to have it graded and attributed. Or should I send it to HA? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 11/12/2017 5:10 pm What you have here is called extreme Die Deterioration Doubling. Notice the center crossbar of E, split down the center. When dies are in their death throes, die flow has caused the metal throughout the die to move outwards. This can cause a stretching of the divides, hence a split that mimics hub doublings, including a separation at the ends of the devices(like split serifs). If you look over all the coins surface, you will see evidence of DDD, flow lines, polishing marks of trying to extend life, thinning of devices due to polishing, devices approaching the edges and curling up rim.
