coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/20/2021 08:14 am Here are a few links about 1982 large date cents: 1982 large and small date cents. How to tell the difference? https://goccf.com/t/257942 https://goccf.com/t/301815 1982 cents: What does swelling of the master hub create? https://goccf.com/t/393330#3365378 https://goccf.com/t/394742#3378050 Look these over to see if you can find the answer there. after reading this information, see if it answers your questions. If not ask specific questions that it doesn't cover. On that it doesn't cover yet is the mintmark issue. This mintmark was created with a damaged punch. When this happens they will look like that on many dies and many denominations. But what you have is not a RPM or a doubled die. So read the information and ask a question here. I'm going to guess your question and put the answer in a hidden message below. Why is this not a doubled die? The answer: The die was made from the master hub that was swollen that year. The devices are all like that on the large date cents of that year. During that year they created a new master hub that contain the normal size of the devices. Thus they called it a Small date. On the links I covered that with an image of a small date cent and altered with Photoshop to show how the master hub was altered. But the kicker, there is also M-D on your coin. This altered the devices into what you are seeing. So it is not a Doubled die obverse or a RPM. Just a large date cent with M-D, and the mintmark was created with a damaged mintmark punch. That is the answer to your question you will have after you read the links information. Secret message hidden, that is the answer to your question, before you even ask it. If you read the other information you will then see what I see on your coin. Edited by coop 05/20/2021 08:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

Most DDO's for 1982 show thickness on LIBERTY as well as WE TRUST. What are you trying to show with the closeup of "URIBUS"? It's blurry. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

And I am noticing after looking at some of your pictures and some of mine how clear yours are and I'll do better Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/20/2021 6:42 pm The correct terminology is "doubled die" not "double die". FYI. Report this Post to the Staff
hlw1976 Valued Member United States 422 Posts	Posted 05/20/2021 8:01 pm Thank you guys I know newcomers has got to be a headache. To see them actually catch on would be rewording. I have saved coins my entire life mainly the bicentennials but silver ones never really the pennies but I have enjoyed my wheat pennies. When my house burnt I lost them all. It's taking me a few years to get back into it but now I want to learn. Report this Post to the Staff
