Is this 1983 Lincoln Penny a double die and if so, what is it worth?

Hi brookeAD5683,

I'm new here, but I'll take a shot. It's tough with the picture, but to me it looks like there's Machine Doubling on the motto. Also, the bumps resemble lamination error, maybe zinc rot popping up. As for value, a can't see it being much more than face.

the great thing about this place is that someone with far more knowledge than me will certainly comment.

Yeah that appears to be Machine Doubling on the motto and nothing more, common on most dates to some degree but never enough to command a premium.

To CCF! Not a Doubled Die. Just a normal coin. You can safely spend it.

Here are a few side by side with normal coins and DDO's for this year so you will know what to look for: (Always look for the spread on a doubled die)

Hope this helps. The devices are usually larger on doubled die.

Usually the devices on a doubled die can be different from die to die. But the same on coin to coin. (die wear can alter some doubled dies)
