Sandon Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 What is your question? If you believe the coin has doubling, where? I see none in your photos, which are fuzzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your other photos are too blurry to see much, this one is decent (although it would be much easier for us to view if you had it oriented correctly) and from what I can see in this one photo there is no strike doubling on this coin. I see a very slight bit of worthless strike doubling or die deterioration doubling on the date and mintmark; also, there is only one DDO for this date/mm and that is the doubled ear variety. In the future I suggest that you consult the listings on Variety Vista Link to VV, there you can see all the known DDO and DDR's for many series. Looking there first will save you alot of time looking for things that don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Tatum Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 That has interest. 1982 cents come as copper or zinc/copper with both P and D mint marks, and large and small 2s. That makes eight varieties, except that the small 2 Denver will not show up often (ever in reality). A good spot to learn subtleties. There is an S proof, too. Which one is yours? A) large date copper B) large date zinc or C) small date zinc? Reference pics pop up with a search. Are you up to a probe for more info? I hope so. Pimping (coins) ain’t easy.

EagleRJO Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) That looks like a large date with the size of the 98 vs the 1 & 2 as well as the shape of the 8 and 2, and from the title it looks like the op may be thinking they found one doubled while looking for the unicorn.

Greenstang Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The value is about the same for a 1982D large date for copper or zinc so it doesn't really matter which it is unless you want to know for your own purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleRJO Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 @Coins3I assumed you knew it wasn't the astronomically rare multi-colored unicorn 1982-D small date copper cent from the title where you seemed to be asking about doubling. See the attached to help with the search if that's what you were asking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
