Sorry, not it's not.
It's the very common form of doubling called
ejection or mechanical doubling.
The CherryPicker's Guide to Die Varieties
has a good section at the back of the book
showing and explaining the difference between
this type of doubling and the various types
of doubled dies.
There are probably numerous threads here that
have discussed it, and/or you can find info on the
internet about it.
Welcome aboard...nothing more needs to be said by me.
Just again, how amazing is it that someone just getting started in the hobby was able to get the opinion of perhaps the world's foremost authority on error coins. Way to go @FredWeinberg !
Great close up imaging.
Yes Indeed.
There is also Tom.
Mike and Jon also chime in sometimes.
I could have sworn that it was because of how the T and E in United were spread out and on both sides.
Thanks All I will keep looking.
Below is a photo of one that is on eBay right now that will hopefully help you to see what you are looking for.
Good luck with your search.

Are you trying to stick only to Lincoln Cents? If not, give the 1964 Kennedy's a try. There are numerous examples to be found and the '64 Kennedy's are as common as dirt. I've found numerous examples from the 90% junk boxes of dealers.
Here is one that is relatively easy to locate, it's actually a 1964-D Tripled Die Obverse. Once you see an actual example in hand, it will be much more difficult to mistake machine doubling for a doubled die.
Take a look at In God We Trust on the Kennedy's.

Welcome to these boards 'World'.....Great pictures, by the way !
@WorldSavingBlog .... Welcome aboard.... as mentioned, your pictures are very good. Fred W. gave you a great explanation... The Cherrypickers guide would be a good investment if you are DD or error searching. Best of luck...Cheers, RickO
Welcome. Good advice so far.
Just google lincoln ddo images to get a "feel" for what to look for.
Here are a couple real life examples to compare to:
And a slightly more extreme example
I can provide close-ups if needed.
Welcome to the forum. We all had our learning curve when it comes to doubled dies vs. ejection or mechanical doubling. Keep the sharp eye out and they will be found....
