I live in Albuquerque and get nothing but Denver pennies. Recently was gifted a huge bag of 2022-D pennies that appear to have strong serif doubling and are similar in nature to WDDR-001 or WDDR-002 however I am not locating the die markers indicated on those Wexler varieties for most of these. Being relatively new to the error side of the hobby am I: 1) identifying these properly and if so 2) are these worth holding?  In a batch of about 20 so far I've seen 15 or so that show the doubling and or thickness on the reverse in some form but found it varies drastically. Here are 3 I selected I can provide further images if needed. Coin A   Coin B   Coin C Coin C is really crazy as the doubling is on nearly every letter and seems stronger then WDDR-001 or 002      |

 To CCF! Could be different die stages or unlisted DDR's. Errers and Varietys.

I'm not an expert by no means but I have a tub of 22 and 23's that have the same "features" as your one cent coins. Try rotating them under your scope to see if the "doubling" shows in all directions of the turn. Light reflection is notorious on 22 and 23 cents. Lots of us novice collectors have problems in this area..

I agree with jfeed...There are some listed errors & varieties for the newer Shield Cents starting to show up.
I'm sitting on a bunch of 2020 -2023's to eventually check.

Appreciate everyone's input and welcomes!
Followed jfeed's recommendation and rotated and adjusted lighting. The elements are still present from what I could tell on these examples.

Do the designer's initials looked doubled?
Can you please post images of the whole reverse and maybe a close up on the designer's initials on a choice example?
Also, have you noticed any notable die marks on either the obverse or reverse?

If it is found on many of these coin from several persons here, could this be HUB doubling?

I don't think OP's coin is a DDR. I'm not seeing any extra thickness on the serifs. Only glare from lighting. Quote:
If it is found on many of these coin from several persons here, could this be HUB doubling? I'm assuming you mean a doubled working hub. Doubled dies are a type of hub doubling. That was a concern I had when these were first being listed. Initially we had two die stages of WDDR-001, but on later examination it turned out that the two stages were actually different dies (Now WDDR-001 and WDDR-002). These two dies have remarkably similar doubling so of course a doubled working hub or something similar was the first thing we looked out for. We could not locate any other dies with identical doubling. Instead, we were submitted three more dies that had similar, but clearly different doubling. The strength, area affected, and the presence of separation varies on each listed die varies albeit slightly. I have seen no evidence that any are the result of a doubled working hub or doubled master die. It's certainly possible but I don't think it's likely from what I've seen (which is why we have them listed currently). |

I have searched some of my corresponding cents and it is indeed hard to see the Doubled Dies on these.
And even tougher to photograph them..I will not give up, however.
