I would look for:

1960(P) Small Date
1960-D/D Small Date over Large Date
1970-S Small Date (High 7)
1982-D Small Date Copper (you never know!)
1992-(P) & D Close AM
1998-2000(P) Wide AM

Then, of course, there are the DD's that you can find in links above.

I noticed on CoinCentsLady response I am clueless on what a Cu for a 1983 penny is. Does Cu mean copper? Thanks

Cu is the elemental symbol for copper.

ps. Ag is silver, Au is gold, Pt is Platinum, Ni is Nickel, Al is Aluminum
Google "elemental metals" to learn more

Does 2001-2008 not count for W-AM? If not, why? I only ask because I found this and am wondering if it is a W-AM, it's on a 2005D and has been the only one I've noticed thus far to be wide since 1992 for business strike.
I'm also adding a pic of my 1992 penny to compare it to.

Ok now in referance to the DDO DDR now when the doubling on the first layer of the letter /nunber what if the doubling actually puncturers the copper exposing the zinc underneath,,only on the copper clad of course still considered a coin of value cause over time it will corrode

To the forum.
Sounds like what your describing is Split Plate Doubling.
This is one of the worthless doublings and as you stated, the exposed zinc will start to rot.
A photo would confirm this.
