Found this last night in one of those old Wheat penny rolls and was reading a guy's post on here about getting a good deal on this coin but a DDO. My coin isn't in good condition but I noticed it had all the same markers. Maybe someone on here with a good eye can tell me I'm seeing things. His should be bottom 2

Not sure what kind of markers you are referring to, but a marker is only important if the hub doubling is present. Yours is a normal coin. His is a doubled die obverse.

The mark over the last c in America and whatever is behind the m in the same word. It's hard to tell from my pic but I thought those were pretty obscure matks

Not the same obverse dies. Note the different positions of the bust tips relative to the "1" in the date.

Dang coin frog that's to technical for an Italian but If your talking about the tip on the top of the one I noticed it but when up close my coin has a glob of black greese type stuff that makes it seem like they're a lot closer than they are. I'm sure you're right though

Here's a side by side of your coin and the DDO coin. The doubled letters are what you should look for first, then you can look for die markers. Keep in mind that die markers will be gouges, die cracks, die chips etc. Not stains, scratches or toning.

I have to agree, yours is a normal Indian. No doubling. Nice pull from a wheat roll!
