I have two 2012 coins to post but I will do one at a time. I'm doing the best I can with photos, but they never seem clear enough. I see doubling (obverse) in the tops of W, E, and T in IGWT. Also left side of R, T, and Y in Liberty. Possibly in mint date also. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Your light needs to be filtered better to much light can cause a lot of issues when trying to judge a coin. From what I am seeing it looks like MD.

You looking in the wrong area to find a doubled die. The outside edges are not that area. The hub doubling is the enlarging of the devices on the center of the devices. (forget looking at the edges as all you will find there is coin contact/machine doubling and DDD ( Die Deterioration) Look for the distorted devices:

Make side by sides to see if the coin is normal or a doubled die with the distorted devices.

What is different than normal on these DDO? The distortion from what is normal for that years devices. The distortion will look like an over inflated bicycle tube:

Note the yellow arrows. That is what I mean by distortion. Now look at these devices. Note that they are not the normal shape. So how you find these? Look at the centers of the devices, and for get looking on the outsides of the devices. If you don't see the distortion on the centers, move on to the next coin. Why keep looking for what is not a doubled die? Not there, move on to the next coin.
