A Seated Dollar Newp and a Question

Here's our only purchase at Baltimore, we had a bid on another seated dollar but got blown out, so much for the downswing in the market. 
lol Also, for all those who hate the new NGC slabs, i LOVE them. You get to see almost the entire edge and the quality has gotten much, MUCH better, the prongs barely cover half of the raised rim area of the coin!
Now for my question, is this strike doubling on the reverse or a doubled die? I hope the pics are good enough to see. The mintmark, which i cutoff by accident, is not doubled whatsoever making me think that this is a doubled die but i'm almost useless when it comes to this stuff. Hope this pics can show what i clearly see in hand.

Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

Very nice coin.
It is not a doubled die though, but shows strike doubling.
Oh, and it's definitley strike doubling.

Speety,
That's a great " only purchase " .
Looks like Strike Doubling, IMHO.
Not all lettering has to be Strike Doubled.

That's what I was wondering and figured, thanks! Just kinda interesting that all the devices and lettering around the mintmark show doubling, but not the mintmark itself.
I've seen mild strike doubling on some seated dollars before but never to this extent.

I've got the same problem, just different class.

Hey...all ya gotta do is put "ebay", "PayPal", "Post Office", "US Mint" and/or "Russ" in the title of the thread and it'll go Platinum...
(Well...maybe not so much with "Russ" since he's been laying kind of low lately
BTW... nice Seated Dollar... since when are you into those?

You forgot the big "L" word, that'd make the thread double white nuclear hot!
And i've been picking a few small ones up here and there...
