The 1991 is an issue with the plating, not a DDO.
The 2018 is hard to see. Any way you can post a closeup?

Thank you! I really appreciate the insight. That coin was kinda awkward to capture being so shiny and my low budget set up, but I’ll get more pictures to post.
All I see is almost like a shadow along the profile from forehead to lips, then a tad less prominate on date and mint in west south west direction

For some reason Denver Shields seem to have "thick" devices and lettering on almost all of them. Especially the reverse.

Well for what it’s worth, I used this coin to test out my new imaging tool, so I have some eternity close ups.
unfortunately it took me a while to come to the conclusion the tool doesnt allow me to fit more than 1/4 of a penny in a single frame, so here are some close up sections of 2018 penny in question

This is mechanical doubling but not a doubled die ad mechanical doubling comes in several types. The bottom image is mechanical doubling and the top is doubled die for comparison.
