1857 FE doubling question.
DoubleEagle59

I've recently purchased an 1857 FE cent. The obverse exhibits strong doubling of 'United States of America', right edge of the eagle (wing to tail to claw) and very strong doubling of the the date.
I went on Rick Snow's website and looked at his 1857 'double die' and it seemed that the double die exhibited strong doubling at the eagle's eye and mount. My coin doesn't have this.
Any thoughts if mine is still a 'double die obverse' variety.
Pictures hopefully will follow (although my lousy macro lens probably won't show much clarity).
