Drauto: Your coin is a doubled die.
But the OP's coin is a normal cent.

J4337 your first cent posted to me is a doubled die and it looks like it has a die crack running from the bottom of the 0 in the date. That is a marker for a early to mid die state wddo-6. Take a look again if it has that die crack
The pix I posted of mine do show that crack.

You must first look at your coin, move it around and decide what is and is not on it. To capture what is, both your coin and phone must be perfectly STILL as you shoot. Brace your arm against something. Reposition the coin and or light source as necessary. Take several pictures if necessary. Post only the pics that captured what is.
Remember good answers begin with good pictures.

True..I will try to take better photos tomorrow, I have a very shaky hand to begin with, and try to capture from different angles so I don't make it appear as something it's not, I don't have the skills down pat yet, it's a work in progress lol

I understand. A little over a year ago I was the worst photographer on here. I can shoot anything now. You will too. A work in progress indeed. You're also going to be amazed by learning about varieties and errors you never even knew existed. I don't think the learning ever stops, but it sure adds up.

This forum has helped me a lot when it comes to recognizing doubled dies. It is a great place to learn the difference between true doubled dies and other forms of doubling.

Absolutely...I get confused very easily with the older coins with the thicker lettering. Everyone here is so helpful with their inputs. I'd be lost without everyone here. Thank you Dratuto, luckily I took Coops advice and stashed it away just in case, because I know that my pics aren't the greatest and it really is hard to tell..
