1970 p ddo Lincoln cent

Is this MD or a DDO cent the letters look thicker and more spreaded out in liberty and there look to be some sort of doubling in in God we trust. I never heard of a 1970 p I heard of the s having doubling but not the p. Thanks in advance.

    I'm not seeing a picture

    And, yes, 1970 Philadelphia coins are known with doubled dies.

    I know of the "S" but Not the "P" and when you see a DDO it will look more like this..

    It's hard to tell from your photo, but I'm not seeing a DDO.

    Metal flow lines? Either way just shelf doubling of some sort.

    You should be looking for parts that look like someone wrote them with a dying marker that was running out and didn't quite exactly write over the lettering perfectly.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Like others have said, yours is not a ddo.
    But...there is a significant doubled die obverse from the Philadelphia mint on 1970. It shows separation in the motto and the date. Of course, it's nothing compared to the 1970-s doubled die that Type2 posted, but it's no slouch.
