1982 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Zinc Large Date - Doubled Die Obverse DDO-001

Description

Attributed through the VarietyVista system with Universal Variety Code UVC-2809 and Die Marriage Record DMR-003, the 1982-D Doubled Die Obverse DDO-001 exhibits a medium spread on the earlobe accompanied by extra thickness on the letters of LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. The Large Date designation refers to one of two date styles used in 1982, each from its own obverse hub and distinguishable by the relative size and spacing of the numerals, and the zinc composition confirms this coin was struck after the mid-year changeover rather than from the earlier copper planchets. Die markers UVC-2809 and DMR-003 serve as the primary authentication points for this variety, linking it to the VarietyVista cataloging system. The 1982-D cent was struck at the Denver Mint, and the combination of zinc composition, Large Date hub, and D mintmark narrows this variety to one of the seven distinct 1982 cent subtypes recognized by numismatists.
