I would respectfully suggest that newer posters need to start educating themselves on what a given error type is, how they occur, and what to actually look for...rather than just throwing old coins found in change on here hoping others will do the work for them.
If you think you have a doubled die, the first thing you should do is check the following sites for an EXACT match. You can always post for a confirmation by asking "is this DDO-XXX from Wexlers site?". Plus there's info on how to learn the characteristics of true hub doubling

What a helpful post; I hope op uses the links therein.
Doubled dies and varieties are my specialties. I’ve been buying, selling, cherry-picking and attributing for 30 years now. I’ve already collaborated with the late J.T. Stanton, along with Howard Spindel, on a particular strong Shield Nickel DDR which I believed to be a new discovery (unlisted in the Cherrypicker’s Guide). Mr. Spindel eventually cross-referenced it with an example shown in Fletcher’s book on Shield Nickels, which I did not have a copy of. Sure, I was disappointed, but having the opportunity to speak with J.T. and Mr. Spindel more than made up for it. Here is my most recent find (a couple of months ago) : a very rare 1867 Shield Nickel with Rays RPD (repunched date) FS-301. In an NGC AU55 holder, unattributed. Value: $3K-$4K

There is a DDO and DDR listed for this date. The DDO is pretty obscure and in my opinion it shouldn’t garner a high premium, but the DDR is much more prominent and desirable.

Not a doubled die, and don't expect
much help with your coins/photos in
the future with that attitude.
The vast number of replies above offer
help, suggestions, websites of interest, etc.
Don't know why you have that snowflake response.

A lot of new posters use the forum as their own personal Q&A. They don't read other threads to learn, they just read the responses on their own threads. That's why the same questions get asked again and again.
They usually can't even bother to open the threads that are offering silver or even gold giveaways.

It looks like it should be very easy for you to answer your own question.

You should have some macro photos to better attribute this coin if it’s a variety

You need to tell us why you think that the coin is a DDO/DDR.

You guys are to generous with these posters who ask repeately the same questions is Dd or mint error questions.
Just answer them a couple of times and let them figure it on their own.
This guy? posted 60+ times so why would bother to attempt to learn when you gave him/her the answers needed?

I missed the response.... guess that is good from what I see referencing it. Surprised the poster wasn't banned. Cheers, RickO
He’ll probably be muted for a period of time, at the least.
