Hello and welcome. Cents in the 1990s typically came in 2 different types. The "Wide AM" cents from 1990-1992, and the "Close AM" cents from...
I do not see a doubled die.
I agree with lamination error.
I think what you have is retouching of the design, which was present on nearly all 1944 cents. It was first thought to be master die doubling, but...
No. Strike/machine doubling is different than a doubled die. Read this tutorial I wrote...it goes over the main types of doubling you will find in...
Too much glare to tell...

That sounds plausible, but do we know if striking a primarily zinc cent is tougher than striking a copper cent?
Definitely MD from what I see. You can see where the doubling "cuts into" the letters, especially the A of AMERICA, and the doubling looks quite flat.
I really love the large cents with the circular die cracks that go around the stars.
Separate names with a comma.
