is the 1913/2 Mexico Caballito peso also a DDO? (photo posted)

I was looking at my coin tonight (PCGS MS64) and saw huge doubling all over the obverse of the coin... rays, the hand, the head, the drapery. I've tried to take some photos, but there's more than what is seen here and it's generally much more distinct.

When in doubt, don't.

    Yeah, these are quite common "hub doubling", not a DD, but they sure look neat, don't they?

    Darn.
    Neat yes, but I was all excited there... especially after I compared it to my 1913 and saw no doubling at all.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Can you post a pic of the whole coin, please?

    Yes, but not until Friday because I'm out of town until then. The more I looked at this coin, the more it looked like a doubled die. It's definately not strike doubling.
    When in doubt, don't.

    This is embarrassing... but not quite a year late. Any help with the doubling (it's much more obvious in person than in my photo.
