All I see on the 1992-D Lincoln Cent is Machine Doubling and some plating slippage. Also, IMHO, the "D" Mint Mark on the 1983 Lincoln Cent appears to have suffered several hits and is not a slanted "D" over a "D" Mint Mark. Sorry!

Based on the images provided, Huntsman53 is correct. Additionally, if you have more than a passing interest in coins, I would advise that you pick up a few guidebooks. Learning all you can about the manufacturing of coins would also be helpful. Knowing how coins are made helps greatly to identify errors.

Time for more coffee.

Since there is some disagreement, I suggest you take your coins to a dealer, or other qualified professional, who has experience with errors, particularly doubled dies. Once you have their evaluation, please share that with us.

Did you post these to ask for help or tell us thats it "Double die"?

Its most likely Machine doubling.

Better pictures would help, like a Micro scope /photo setup.

Based on the photos it appears to be machine doubling, if you can get better close up pictures and prove that its not, then great.


Doubled Dies vs. Machine Doubling
Posted on 1/10/2017

The distinction between genuine die doubling and mechanical doubling can be subtle, but they can easily be differentiated with just a loupe and a bit of knowledge.


One of the more common questions that NGC Customer Service receives is regarding the difference between a doubled die and machine doubling. This distinction is very important, because a doubled die variety may be worth a large premium, while machine doubling is a mere novelty and does not usually add value.

A true doubled die is a variety in that it is created during the die making process. As a result, the doubling will appear on every coin struck from that die. In the past, doubled die errors were often much more dramatic due to the process in which dies were created. This method often required multiple impressions from a working hub to impart the detail into a die. If the hub or die shifted at all during this process, the finished die would feature two distinct impressions with separation between them. The design, letters and digits will be doubled.

I grant you that the doubling is quite significant on "LIBERTY" on the coin but still believe it to be Machine Doubling. Due to the significant wear and damage to the coin, it is nearly if not totally impossible to make a clear assessment of the doubling from the pics and the coin would need to be examined in hand using a Coin Microscope. So that you may better understand Machine Doubling and Doubled Die Doubling, I have included a couple of links below.
