Are there any major die varieties for 1883 Indian cents?

I have one with some pretty prominent doubling on "United States". Just wondering what I should look for.

    The major variety for 1883 is an MPD (S1), with the base of the 1 protruding from the bust (link). Two others are a DD reverse & triple punched date (S2). If none of the design elements show any doubling yours could be strike doubling or even more likely Longacre's doubling (link).
