I sent a 2017p Lincoln Shield cent with thickness on the initials on the reverse to DoubledDies in May 2018. With all his health concerns and unprecedented submissions during that period, it didn't make it back until Nov. 2018. I've been holding off posting it until I had a link to share. I noticed it has finally been posted to the site.
Without further ado 2017p WDDR-001. Just scroll down to the bottom.

I finally got my submission back from ANACS that it was with. This may have prompted the updated entry. As noted at DD there aren't really any markers but I can try to post more images than the ones at DD. If anyone would like more let me know and I'll snap a few through the ANACS holder.
Thanks for looking. PP55

There's actually a funny story that I'll add to this thread. I submitted a DDR from 2017 recently, thinking it was unlisted. John Wexler later said in a email that it was already listed in his files (couldn't find the listing or pictures anywhere though). He ended up forgetting to put it up, do to health issues. After politely telling him to put the listing up, he did.

Congratulations on the listing by the way!

Thank you coinhunter27 and a big thank you goes to E&V for the prompt to get this listed. It only has thickened initials but glad Wexler got the images up. (Sorry you had to go through the cost of submitting though.)
When I saw other listings going up at DD I knew it was an oversight and I should have taken the initiative to contact him.

On a related note about a recent Variety Vista submission. 7 out of 10 new varieties that were submitted were determined to be TMTL (Too Minor To List). All were early wheats (teens and 20's) and either doubled eyelids or class 6 DDR's in years that had none or very few.
(One that surprised me as TMTL was a nice AU 1916p WDDR-001 http://doubleddie.com/2401958.html) I was trying to get more online reference images for collectors to compare. I have been reluctant to send submissions to DD since the turnaround time was so long but at least Wexler will attribute most varieties. He is the ANACS of the attribution world and covers everything.
Lately, I get the feeling sometimes VV shuffles things out the door to eliminate any backlog. I can only imagine how difficult the attribution profession might be and this criticism might not be fair but to say WDDR-001 is too minor doesn't seem correct.
More submissions will be going to Wexler from now on.

EDIT: E&V, how recently did you contact him? It must have been fairly recently since I've been checking the site about every month or two but almost gave up hope.

Petespockets55, according to my submission letter, it was in early February (February 3rd). I contacted him somewhere around this time about it. Two updates ago, he finally put it up.

Thanks again. It almost got to the point I stopped looking for it.
