Very LDS 1982 1DO-001 or 003

[Jacob]

This is a LDS on its last breath. Now this is a LD zinc but Im not really seeing the match on L in Liberty.
This is actually closer to the 1DO-001 but that is copper.

Actually that coin was struck in LMDS. It's not even LDS.

That coin is neither 001 or 003, the thickness on LIB Im not seeing it!! 82 isnt a easy year to make score unless its 002!!

Youre probably right john but I still think its a doubled die just might not be them 2.

Wexlers die varieties for 1982 I seen he had 5 different DDOs but I cant see pics. Can anyone help me out.

[jcuve]

I don't think it is a class VI doubled die.

[mustbebob]

I don't think it is a DDO either. Looks like a lot of other 1982s out there.

[Jacob]

Ok its official then I hate the 1982 LD Doubled dies other than the 002.

LOL....Join the thousands of us who have the same views Jacob. Hang in there and keep on searching....

Ok I just looked through about 50 82 LDs and none were fat like this in the motto. The bottom of the motto is fat IN GOD WE TRUST. Im very firmiliar with this due to looking for the DDRs on the wheaties. Now that being said Wexlers has 5 LG date DDOs listed can anyone show me the examples.

[Jacob]

Heres a pic of a normal one compared to this one.

I only know what 3 of them look like. You might just have to wait for John to update that section of his website.

While I agree it seems thicker, I still don't think it is a class VI, or at the very least a listable class VI. Searching LD '82s will give you nothing but a headache.

I have 1 class VI 1982 DDO. The horizontal space between the hook and rounded serif of the G, the horizontal spaces in E and the internal space in the R are all smaller than what you have here. The leg of the R is thicker and it has a notch.
