What also inclined me to post this is that I remember awhile back that SamCoin mentioned if the E in WE has very thin bars, it could be a DDO. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/16/2020 10:03 pm But that is the normal size of large date copper devices. The DDO are even larger: 1982P1DO-002 side by side with a normal cent: Jim Thought the same thing: But what you do have is an earlier die state coin. Note the size of the devices and fields. It is a keeper for that alone. I've seen another one before: And they thought they had a DDO. So Most often the EDS coins are mistaken as a doubled die as the devices look so fresh.

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 07/16/2020 10:05 pm Oh I see, alright thank you Coop. The glare made it seem larger to me compared to other 1982 cents that I've looked at. I guess I kind of thought it looked like WDDO-004 Edited by SilverCents 07/16/2020 10:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 07/16/2020 10:12 pm Interesting Coop. How many EDS coins were struck of the 1982, roughly? I'm curious why it makes it a keeper. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/16/2020 10:25 pm Probably less than 40K for the die that struck your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 07/16/2020 10:33 pm Oh wow huh, that's interesting, never knew about the striking ratio. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter17 Pillar of the Community United States 1008 Posts	Posted 07/17/2020 11:04 am Wow, the fact that this was one of the 40,000 coins struck with a fresh die is pretty nice. Most 1982s are just crappy lol. Edited by CoinHunter17 07/17/2020 9:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
