ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19130 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 06:46 am Agree, not seeing any evidence of a doubled die. Full, sharp pics of the obverse and reverse would help us better understand the full context of what we're looking at. Report this Post to the Staff

CentSeeker Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 06:55 am Is it zinc? I think you need to weigh it. I think zinc is 2.5g and copper is 3.11g. There are different varieties for different compositions. Here is where I have been getting some info: http://www.coppercoins.com/diesearch.php Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 12:02 pm The 1982 DDR shows spread on the devices. You are not looking at the right areas for a DDR. If is on the centers of the devices that you will see a DDR: You are looking at the outside/inside edges of devices. The doubled dies are caused by a doubled die, not altered post strike on the devices by the machine. A coin can have a doubled die, and also Machine Doubling: Note the date has hub doubling. (spread on the devices) But not on the date and mintmark, there is Machine Doubling. This can happen. (This coin was submitted as a DDO, but was only graded as a normal coin) What doesn't happen is that a normal die coin with Machine Doubling, it doesn't make it a doubled die. A doubled die is on the die, not altered by the machine. That is what I'm seeing on your coin. look at the centers of the devices, not on the outside/inside edges of devices.

Hobbs9 Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 12:19 pm Sorry, but it was struck from worn dies. Known as Die Deterioration Doubling and adds no value and very little, if any interest to collectors The first thing you should do if you think you have a doubled die is go to the following sites and look for an EXACT match. These sites also great info on die making and the characteristics of hub doubling vs the worthless types. I strongly recommend bookmarking them The key to finding true hub doubling is to learn the characteristics. There are lots and lots and lots is worthless mechanical and Die Deterioration Doubling out there, but not many hub doubled. Even minor ones are hard to find www.doubleddie.com www.varietyvista.com Best of luck. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 12:57 pm Probably the DDR die was detected early. Thus few of these coins are out there. If so there will be no later die state examples out there. So finding one of these might be just a rare occurrence if that is the case. Best to look at the EPU area on that die number to determine a DDR or not. (The strongest spread on this die) Report this Post to the Staff
