I have been studying differences between a true DD & Machine Doubling. The 1 looks like a DD, what do y'all think? It's not a significant coin I just wanted to see if fir once in my life I can spot a true dd. If it isn't can you tell me why. Also the reverse has extra penny(lol not sure what its called) but it has a part on it that doesn't seem to be pmd but made with coin.

I don't see any evidence for a doubled die.

If it takes that much magnification and you still have to wonder about it ... it isn't worth bothering with.
It's difficult to tell from the images, but I don't think you have an example of a doubled die. Keep searching ... finding a doubled die is not easy. The key is to look for "split serifs" on the letters and numbers.
Here is a good article on doubled dies by John Wexler:

Looks like die chips on the wheat stalk....I do see the 'ghosting' on the W.... it is not a doubled die.. more like die erosion....Your diligence in this search is impressive.... keep studying the reference material... I know you will find one... Cheers, RickO

I'm not seeing it. The images are way out of focus.
Not sure of the method you are using - are you inspecting every cent you have at high mag?
I recommend getting one of the Cherrypicker's guides, then focusing (no pun intended) on those cents with known dd's, and inspecting those, using the diagnostics provided. I had my best luck, and it wasn't much, searching solid date rolls of coins with known dd varieties.
I agree on the Cherrypicker's Guide, it is a great book, in fact the only time I
ever found a true double die was after I bought the book, it was a bi-centennial
1976d quarter

I think I see something but I'm not sure. Pics need to be more in focus to make a determination.
I suppose there could be an unkown DD from many decades ago, but it is highly unlikely to say the least. I agree with others that it is best to focus on known dates....
There are know double dies for certain dates. Are you ware of Copper Coins, Wexlers or James Wiles sites ?? They have them listed, with photos.

There are so many doubled dies out there and new stuff being found all the time.
Thanks all i really appreciate your feedback. I will take advice and yes i understand there is dd that are recognized because a machine stamped a certain amount before mistake was caught and so everyone will have the same exact dd mistake and those get recognized in Redbook. However I also know there's individual dd's that are caught by people that wasn't part of the dd that is known and logged in Redbook. For example I guess we'll use the famous 1955. There's the dd that has strong doubling that people find but then there's a few who have a 1955 with not as strong dd aND are worth less but still of value and still a 1955 dd. I will focus on those years but what I do love about coins is that people can find a mistake that no one else has or has caught and that's what makes it so fun and addicting.
Ok fee, keep searching, but I have just one question, what is up with the "aND" you type in almost every post, some kind of code? Just curious.

Lol, @BruceS no my phone saves the words so when I type the word it changes it to the way I used it once and never corrected it. I guess I could say It was a secret code that I'm sending out to the Kremlin, that would of sounded much cooler but no just laziness. I may fix it...one day.
Just what I thought, another Putin supporter.

Aka a Trump Conservative ...ummm...no. I may not be able to spot a dd. However, I do have a keen eye for egotistical narcassistic sociopaths.
Wish you luck Fee.
Trump's hair may be a doubled dye.
