I feel stupid asking this, I’m thinking machine doubling but it’s been bugging me since I found it. Please share your feedback, thank you!

Not the biggie for the year, but still a nice doubled die.
Now see if you can nail down what one it is.

This has to be a first. Someone is convinced they have MD but it's a DD.
@JBK I wanted to give you a like, agree & lol but you know that's not how it works so you got a lol.
It’s the FS-102 or 107. More pics too!

Check for the die gouge to confirm 102
And flatten down the staples on that 2x2!
I was in such a rush I did it backwards!

Hard to tell but it looks like it might be there.
If you are having a hard time seeing it there is also a slight difference with the W in WE between the 102 & 107.
Nice, congrats on the find!! Zooming in on your last pic it looks like the die gouge is there.
Thank you, your eyes are better than mine I guess.

Nice!
Nice pick up, congrats
Not the big doubled die for 72 bit still nice. Also doubled die coins are not errors they are a variety.

Funny enough, I’ve only searched 8 rolls… Ever.

Sure looks like a nice find to me! Congrats!
Anyone know the mintage of the 1972 DD?
2 and 7 sure look an awfully lot like just different die states of each other. i'm not really up for debating this one at this time. just a modest (obvious?) observation. @ifthevamzarockin what'd they call it at VW, evil mimic?
It's 102. You can identify 107 easily by looking for a small dot in Lincoln's mouth, and in-hand the doubling is nowhere near as clear as 102. I've been selling ANACS MS64 and MS65 RD examples of 1022 on eBay for about $60 to $125.
102 (ANACS MS64 RD):
107 (ANACS MS65RD):
wow. talk about a variety whose premium came down. i think i remember one of those in higher RD sell for well into 4 figures long ago, of course, a lot more examples coming to light usually does that.
someone i know several years back, based on that prior sale was stoked to have came up with a couple nice RD gems of #2 and sent em off to HA and their hammer was quite disappointing.
i haven't even looked at the pops in a long time. i'd have to venture a guess at least several dozen in RD at pcgs alone these days. i may have to go look up what recent examples have sold for in 65 and higher.
still a good premium though considering the non variety price.
@LanceNewmanOCC I think the spread on WE shows it best that they are 2 different dies and not just die state.
In the photos you posted you can see where the secondary image on the W is not as high on the right side of the W.
The lower part of the E is not the same either.
You might be thinking of die 4- that's the rarest of the DDO's.
In 2015, I helped a dealer buddy of mine buy and certify a hoard of 1971 (2 rolls, RD unc), 1972 (18 rolls- dies 2,3,5,7, and 8 (with 12 die 4's mixed in), and 1973 (1 roll) DDO's. We've been dispersing it since then.
What I've seen is the price for Die 2 and die 8 increase in 64 and 65 RD from around $30 - $40, to the all-time high of one in 65 RD for $125 each. Die 7 has never sold for more than around $65 - $70 in 65 RD. We did really well on the die 5's as well, and got $300 - $400 for some of those.
The die 4's ranged in grade from AU to MS64 RED, with the top price for an ANACS 64 RED for $3000.

momentary misremember on my part.
you're right.
