eagle2a1 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 10/26/2024 9:35 pm I attached some photos of what appears to be markings of doubling on certain letters for this 1983 penny. The B and R of Liberty seem to show doubling effects and possibly the T and Y of Liberty. Also, the R in TRUST seems to have the sherif at bottom of right leg. This is where I'm lacking the experience to actually say for sure on doubling as the rest of Obverse seems normal. Could it be a working double die like Wexler's indicates? Again, can never say thanks to community enough. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 10/26/2024 9:54 pm Pretty good images. I do see some slight notching on the upper left corners of BERTY and the R of TRUST. Did you check to see if it is listed on either of the 3 main sites for US cents? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73978 Posts	Posted 10/26/2024 10:30 pm Could be a very minor DDO. The B in Liberty is doubled. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

eagle2a1 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 10/27/2024 12:29 am Ive checked quickly on wexlers and coppercoins. I missed Coneca listings. Or, am I missing something for researching these such errors or varities? Ill spend some more time researching but possibly keep the minor DDO as my example for refernce on others going forward. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10514 Posts	Posted 10/27/2024 12:45 am With that much magnification you will bee seeing all kinds of different anomalies on coins. Some may be previously attributed known varieties, some may be new varieties, and some will be so minimal that they are not, or ever will be, listed. It's up to you what you want to do.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/27/2024 04:12 am Very nice close-up pics,but your "fullish" coin pics are showing glare. Might be a very minor doubled die,but I will guess not a doubled die at all. Let's wait for more members to chime in. Always check all three reference sites for a match.

eagle2a1 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 10/27/2024 2:51 pm Thank you all for the feedback as always. Ive been trying to get better at mangification of coins and not be too close. Use a small hand held magnifier first and eye test. Defintiely takes time for learning. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 10/27/2024 9:44 pm Could be a minor doubled die, many of the listed ones for 83 are but could not definitely match it up with any of them. Good eye and good pics. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
