Is this a DDR or are my eyes playing tricks on me? There's also a die scratch to the bottom right of the Memorial Building that goes to the edge like in the markers photos I've seen for one of the 83DDRs but I had trouble getting it to show on the pics.

I'm thinking possibly the FS802, stage c on variety vista however I get confused on all the double dies and am still trying to learn the ropes of determining actual dds and stages so I could be completely wrong!

I can tell t's not FS#802 or 801(the biggie).

The images aren't really clear enough to tell what might be on the upper left side of UNITED.

The 802 is a harder die to figure out. But seeing it with a normal die helps.
1983-DDR-Lincoln-Cent?
Note the spread on the doubled dies? It is on the central areas of the devices. Machine Doubling happens on the outside edges of devices and is random, caused by the machine is what ever direction the die movement causes. (Which can vary from strike to strike)
1983-DDR-Lincoln-Cent?

In order to a die match to happen, all the devices doubled on the listed die, must match exactly in order for it to be that DDR number. If it is not a match, then it is not that die. (Die wear can affect class 2 doubled dies. All regular and doubled dies can be affected by Machine Doubling)
Die #2:
