I found this 1982 D large date Lincoln cent with very fat letters on "In God We Trust." It seems to match the picture of the 1982 D WDDO-002, but I can't see it well enough to verify if any of the die marks are there. If nothing else, can I at least assume that this penny is from a doubled die and the fat letters are not just a result of squishing by circulation?

The large dates had the large devices, thus the term, Large Date. The DDO is actually larger than those devices:

This is from the Philly mint. Your coin is from Denver. Your coin also has circulation flattening, the makes the base of the devices look larger, when they really aren't. A mild level of grease in the lower areas of the devices can also make the devices look wider. But when compared to the DDO, then you can see the devices are normal sized.

That's not the one I'm looking at - I'm looking at the 1982 D from Wexler's Coins and Die Varieties web page.

Thanks for the extra pics! I would have to concur with the master, coop. It looked like there may be something there, from your full coin pics but as he has stated, would appear to be from circulation.
