I haven't seen a 2019 cent for myself yet, so I don't really know what is normal, but if this was any other date I'd say there is slight extra thickness on 201, this has a chance of being the first DDO for the year.

I was lucky enough to have found my first 2019 D in my pocket change! I can say that I think this is the first DDO, because the 201 is much thicker on that coin than on my coin. Take a Look-  I'm not sure if the mint locations these coins were struck at make a difference, but if they don't I think that you've definetly found the first DDO. I'm not an expert but I think I'm getting better at comparisons. Congrats (maybe)!

Here is what the U.S. Mint image looks like on the date area for the cent.  I had to reduce the glare so we could see the actual outline of the devices.

Looks very close to normal. Do you have other examples for this year? If you could post images of a normal one, I would arranged them side by side to see if it looks normal or not?

The new side by side is even more convincing, definitely a DDO. A minor one, but still a DDO. I'd send it to wexler.

I tend to agree with Tanman, your coin looks convincing and warrants further looking into.
