So I Found This 2019 Lincoln Cent And I Think Its A Possible Double Die

Way too much glare. Maybe MD and or DDD but not a doubled die.

impossible because of single squeeze hubbing which started around 1986 and is always done since then.
there's doubling, but it's Mechanical Doubling caused by the press or the material, or Die Deterioration Doubling from die wear and flex of the dies after repeated impacts, but it's not a true "doubled die", in that the doubling is literally "on the dies".

now a days true "doubled dies" are near the centers of the coins, not the edges, and it's very minor in appearance in most cases.
Class 9, or"shifted Hub doubling". This is the only doubled die that can happen in single squeeze hubbing production of die, it's a new class created for single squeeze hubbing method.
It's one press of the hub to die, if a shift occurs in the pressing, the shift will translate to the die most usually seen near the center on coins.
Like the Lincoln ear doubled obverse, or doubled Memorial columns on the reverse.
there's Class 9, Type 1 or Type 2. you can look it up with these terms to learn more.

Prior to single squeeze, hubs were pressed to dies more than once to create dies, these misalignment's between each pressing is what causes the previous classes 1-8 of doubled dies.

I'm really hoping this is the breadcrumbs to help you want to learn and understand more about doubled dies, and hopefully add clarity to what is or isn't it. You really need to do your homework on it and see examples of them, and if not, at least know how to tell the difference between no added value doubling when you see it vs, a true doubled die. Good luck!

Excellent presentation by Dr. coop!
