I did some research ( thanks for wonderful forum research sticky links) and could not find any existing double die variety that matched this particular date/mint mark/composition. Appreciate comments and apologies if I missed the variety listing for this 1982-D Zinc Lincoln Memorial Cent

    The correct term is "doubled die", and your coin is not a doubled die.

    Also you cannot have a DD on the mint mark as it was hand punched into the die.
    What you have is some minor Machine Doubling. This is why you cannot find it listed.

    I should have given a more clear description on what I meant. I was looking the horizontal. vertical lines and splits in the serifs in the date and liberty, not the mint mark.

    Thanks for your response. The pictures I posted aren't the best though with these pictures can see lines and splits (Liberty and Date) using the magnify image feature using MS Edge browser and zooming in. I'll try to post a few more zoomed in pictures.

    pixelated zoomed in pictures aren't good enough to see split serifs

    take photos closer to the coin

    Spend the coin. Do not post more photos.
