When I saw the LB initials, I knew it didn't look right.

After comparing it to the WDDR-001, I'm convinced it's a match. I also believe it could be a new die stage as this coin has none of the die markers.

I'll provide the images used by Wexler for comparison. Let me know what you guys think.

(Again, I'm a little rusty so bare with me).

I'm just not seeing it.

Look at the openings in the B. WDDR-001 has more circular openings due to the thickness of the letter. A normal one has more oval-shaped openings. Yours still looks more like an oval.

Afraid I agree with Tanman on this one. I think the negative space on the B is the place to compare, and yours looks like the negative spaces are too large to be a match.

There is strong Machine Doubling on the bottoms of 'ONE'. So I feel this is a normal cent with the distortion of the Machine Doubling. The bottom of the shield is also affected by the Machine Doubling. So it is a normal coin with Machine Doubling. Take a look at the EPU. You should see enlargement on the tops of the EPU devices. When the bottoms of the raised devices are affected, the tops of the devices on incuse devices will be affected (enlarged). You should see that on your coin.

Note on this coin with the MD on the right side of the devices, and on the incuse devices the left side of the devices are affected. (just opposite) So include images of the EPU devices. That area should be affected on your coin.

I'm pretty sure this " Machine Doubling" is just glare from lighting. For whatever reason, the shield cents are nearly impossible to photograph without getting this effect.

Shortly after making this post, I came to the same conclusion as I looked at a few other similar cents.

There is indeed Machine Doubling there, but it is more emphasized because of the lighting glare as you mentioned Tanman.

Thanks for the assistance everyone, I realized this before you all responded but I felt like it would be good for clarification so I kept it up.

Indeed it is Coop. I myself need a slight bit of reeducating as you might've noticed. Shield cents have always been tricky for me, and being away from the hobby for a bit has taken its tole.

With the single squeeze dies, the locations for doubled dies locations of doubled dies have changed. Also the raised/incuse devices also are new on the horizon.
