For starters I can't tell if this is the proof no S penny or not. I don't think so, but still not sure. Anyways, I believe there's some doubling on the reverse in the column's in the memorial, and on the letters "One Cent" what do y'all think?

Not a proof,too much glare to tell if it is a DDR. Try putting a filter on your light source.

I think what you have is Machine Doubling. Also, your nice mint state cent has finger print damage... it's not a good idea to hold coins in this condition in your fingers. Cotton gloves are cheap and help protect the surface of new or mint state coins from the oils/acids given off by your skin. Coin shops or art supply stores sell these cotton gloves. They are a good investment!

Thank you for clarifying that for me! And thank you again for the tip about the gloves! I'll definitely have to get some. Here's a couple more pictures without the extra lighting

Not a proof:

Just a business strike.

Proof coin with no 'S'. Note fields are mirror like. Business strikes don't have that look.
Proof strike with cameo:

This is a spender, nothing special.

You left Finger prints on your coin
You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.
