    Some doubled dies are tougher to spot. I have difficulty spotting a lot of half dollars with minor doubling.
    Your image was a bit easier. I added yellow highlights to a screenshot of your pic.

    You're not playing right. First run it over a couple times in your driveway. Then shoot the photo at an acute angle from across the room.

    I cherrypicked this coin years ago from an old dealer. He had no price on the coin. I asked what he wanted for it. He said $15 and I gladly accepted. He even closely looked over the coin with a loupe first. Still didn't notice the doubling. He should have known better. I sold it for a handsome profit a few years ago.
