So I am new to identifying coins and its something I started doing in my free time as a result of the pandemic. I have a 1982 Lincoln Cent and I think it may be a DDR. can anyone please help?
I'm not seeing any doubling given the photo posted. Might be some Die Deterioration going on. Is it possible to get closer-in, sharp images of the doubling you see?
Please zoom in with your camera to show us a close up. "Cleaning up" your photo isn't needed, but a sharp closeup is! Keep trying, we know it isn't easy, keep practicing, you'll get it!
With my laptop I'm able to enlarge your photo, what I see is Machine Doubling on the north side of most letters in America. Sorry no added value above face. Value is in education to id MD
to CCF good luck on future finds, have fun and keep asking when needed...
Seems like AMERICA on cents is not where the major doubling happens. When it does it seems to be on the lower parts of the devices. It happens but less often. Usually on the UNITED or ONE CENT areas.
