Looks like your coin is in good shape, but not the die.

Looks like a normal coin. Can you point out any doubling?

Thank you CoinMasters, John1, Seal006 and NDCENT.
First of all thank you John1 for pointing out that Double "d" I at times mess that up.
I don't know how to use a pointer such as what others use, but the doubling I'm seeing mostly with the date the 9 and 5 where the 5 standing out. I would of thought the 5 clearly shows one 5 indented in on top of the other 5. The TRUS mostly the "R" showing doubling And the "w" with we. The doubling with Liberty straight across also. It was with all on the front of the coin there appeared to be a doubling. No matter how many angels or pictures I took I was seeing the same doubling on each but what kind of doubling was it, I don't know. The "5" in the date was what was standing iut with me. I was hoping someone's input would help me understand what it is I'm seeing. Mostly with that date which had me mostly confused lol. The back of the coin I'm not seeing anything but I could be wrong with that as well.

To me, all I am seeing is glare. Light plays tricks on the eyes. I could be wrong, but that is all I am seeing.

Okay thank you Seal006, so no one is seeing doubling? It's only me seeing this? It's not the first time I've been told this may be time to get rid of the different lights were using in order ti determine what's really there and what isn't. Between the lighting And the different cameras we can't believe anything we're seeing anymore lol. Thank you for your input

SA, the coin is the true test, not the pic. Look at the coin in hand, whatever you can't make disappear on it by angling it - is really there. Capture that in your pic.

CoinMaster I read what you had written on mine and went and checked both her coin and my coin which we usually take the pictures of the coins in the same area of the house same lighting. She is at work but I'll fill her in tomorrow but I have a question to ask you. What happens when you hold it in your hand (under the same lighting as you did with the picture) and you see the same images in your hand would that mean the image is truly there? Or because your looking at it under the same lighting would it give you that false image? Because both coins, hers and mind still show the same images as the pictures are showing but not as large as what the picture is getting it? So I can still see it on both coins. Would it be safe to say they are truly there?
Thank you for the advise that's really helpful. I'm sure she'll appreciate that too.

If it is on the coin you can see it under almost any light, even just a bright room. If it is just a reflection, it will change as you angle the coin. Check it out on the coin, if it is actually there, strive to capture it the same way in a picture.

Thank you CoinMasters. We have on a few occasions over these past few days looked at every angel by hand under a couple different lights and still saw the images, so what we did was tried different lighting to see if the images would go away. The pictures below were taken today. One of the pictures with the date looked smaller than the other but you can still see the image there more so on the 5. So it was confusing would the angle make it more difficult seeing It, and how far away we stood when we took that picture without using the magnifyer along with the phone magnifyer like we had done with the others trying to get the true image. I had put both in here. The others were also taken today and show the same images as the other day. So what we're seeing is there but what we're seeing is the question. Any ideas?  They came out darker cause we were trying to block any glare from lighting being it's a copper penny. I hope these came out okay.

I believe what you have there is a severe case of Die Deterioration. Sorry, better luck on the next one.
