2004D DD or just a whole lotta DDD?

I realize there's definite signs of DDD but some of it seems neat and clean and raised, but it's probably wishfull thinking.

Looks like a regular cent to me...

 

Really? I've got another 2004D and it looks different. But maybe just my eyes. Here's another shot a little closer.

 

Look at the word 'TRUST" for example, notice how the 'doubled " part makes the top of the T and R look half as wide as the vertical part . A Doubled die increases the size, doesn't reduce the width of the detail, It is MD IMO with possible small amount of Die deterioration. But ask a single squeeze expert also as SS coins are not my thing. Jim

 

Looks like DDD on a Zinc Cent and that is normal to me.

 

Hi
Imho, it looks like a misaligned die strike or mad with die deterioration.
Not a ddd or md.
If you look at the rim there’s an extra rim line. Meaning the collar might be out of alignment from when the hammer die strikes the planchet.
