I have this penny and i think its a ddo and I'm hoping for opinions on if it's rd rb or bn. I'm also wondering what I should do with it if I'm right about its doubling.

This coin is not a doubled die. As I mentioned earlier, doubled dies are difficult for beginners. Have you done the suggested reading on doubleddie.com? Doing so will help you understand what a doubled die is and why the doubling on a coin belonging to a particular doubled die variety always has to look exactly the same as on the other coins of this variety. It will also help you understand the identifying features to look for on a doubled die, such as splitting and notching.
Looking for doubled dies on dates with known doubled die varieties is a good step, but you need to study photos of the variety first and understand what the doubling looks like. As a homework assignment, first do the reading (if you've already done it, it wouldn't hurt to review). Then, go to CoinFacts to get an image of the 1936 1c FS-101 DDO:

Draw pointers on the image wherever you can find of examples of splitting and notching, then post it here.
Variety Vista is a great resource to use if you have a coin you think may be a doubled die or over mintmark.

Doesn't match. Here's a good resource. http://lincolncentresource.com/
Your pictures are excellent. They also show no hint of doubling whatsoever. Do the homework suggested but IkesT above and post the results.

It looks normal to me.
