1873 Open 3 doubled die obverse, can anyone help with the attribution?

Aspie_Rocco

I have this 1873 with an obvious DDO, but I am unsure if it is an actual Cherry Pickers variety. Any Shield aficionados here?
There is doubling evident on the annulet, leaves, shield design loops points and edges. Also the vertical shield lines run into the second layer of horizontal lines.
I checked CPG, CoinFacts, and even the NGC Shield varieties list, but nothing conclusive was found.

So I don't know this stuff at all. But I don't mind looking around sometimes.
In the Resources thread I went to the one for the NNP book on shield and Liberty nickels.

It looked like an open 3.
Here is a screen grab that mentions some doubling similar to what you mentioned above.
Page 198 of the file (as can be seen in the screen grab) or page 187 of the book. Maybe it is a start or all wrong.
And I know no more.

You probably already checked these sources, but in case not:
Using the photos at NCG Variety Plus, it could be:

• F-111, S2-7000

While these can be ruled out:

• F-102, S2-7001
• F-unlisted, S2-1005

This can be ruled out, using the photo on the main page of Howard's website:

• F-113, S2-1002

There are no photos for this Shield 5c 1873 Open 3 DDO possibility:

• F-unlisted, S2-1003

Howard Spindel's site also lists these additional possibilities, with no photos:

• S2-1000
• S2-1001
• S2-1006

Perhaps @howards can advise.

I have the Fletcher book and the doubling most resembles F-07, the only wrinkle is that he has it listed as a closed 3 variety. Nothing in Fletcher's book with the open 3 resembles the doubling on your coin.

He doesn't picture anything but the center of the obverse for the F-07, so it is possible he misidentified the date variety. I think there are a lot more doubled dies known for the date now than there were when he wrote his book, my copy was published in 1994.
