Sherrow01 New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 08/18/2023 02:20 am Hello all. Here I have a 1982 Lincoln Penny. While observing it under magnification, I noticed what looks like possible doubling. It's only on the reverse of the coin, noticeable on most of the letting and the memorial. I'm familiar with the common doubled-die error. However, I've never seen it look quite like this (if it is in fact a DDR). Any input is much appreciated. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Machine Doubling reduces the letters, while a genuine Doubled Die enlarges them in size. I would keep it for educational and future references. See my detailed Machine Doubling tutorial for more information. http://goccf.com/t/332421 Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
