I just picked up coin collecting a couple of months ago and have gotten into the practice of getting coins from the bank to sort through. Today I was rechecking some of the coins I have set aside and came across a 1983-P Lincoln that looks like the eyes, forehead, and nose are tripled? is that possible? Also the chin and top of the beard look like they are doubled too. But the thing is that on the reverse it looks like what coppercoins.com describes as a 1983P-1DR-002. Like I said I am new to all this so I don't want to jump the gun but I think I already did . I'll try to take some good pictures and post them if possible, thanks for any help, and once again a hearty hello. sorry about the poor quality and mess pic didn't have much to work with Report this Post to the Staff

This happens when the coin jumps as the pressure is being released striking the die again leaving a partial second impression. Very common. As to the reverse, pictures just not clear enough to make a call. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm sure I'll bug the forum for more information and thank you very much. Report this Post to the Staff
