I’m assuming they think it is a doubled die cent. But it would be very helpful if they actually asked a real question to go along with a myriad of photos.
Thank you. I really didn’t have a question. I do look up the coins on the PCGS site and some coins I find don’t have any examples in grades higher than 66-67 and I have some uncirculated coins like the one I posted here and was just asking opinions. I need a mentor to guide me instead of posting. I’m only on Pennie’s right now and still have nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars, silver dollars all the way to some cash certificates so I still have a long way to go, but I’m way further than where I started, lol.

Also as far as pictures, what do I need to do different? Any helpful advice is greatly appreciated.
Generally one good sharp photo of the front and back and perhaps a close up of the "error" or whatever is on the coin that you have a question about would be good. Sharp and focused and not too big that we have to scroll down the pic to see the dang thing.

That is indeed a normal Lincoln cent. Did you have a question?
I need more, more pics.

I do not see anything unusual/remarkable about that cent. Looks like a nice cent for an album. Cheers, RickO
The photos aren't large enough to make an comment.

well below a 66

Study, Study, Study my friend. Compare what you have to known examples of what you assume your coin is.
One full pic of the front, and back, and a close up of the area in question is usually enough for us to wet our beaks.

Perhaps get the Mega Red Book on Lincoln cents as a starting point?
