What is the date (and mintmark)?? Is there a known DDR for that year?
When you ask a question about a coin, please indicate the date/mintmark. Without that there is no way to reference in books or online. Lots of DDR cents. How about a pic of the whole coin, front then back? Then the close ups of the indicators for a DDR. Too much missing here to be able to help.

Sean ** have you **read the article I have posted about this subject matter. If you read the articles It will explain what is and what not is considered **"Doubled Dies **or something else.
It is not a doubled die....There are many articles that have examples of true doubled dies and the other variants such as mechanical doubling and die erosion. Check them out, this is all part of the numismatic learning experience...Cheers, RickO
True doubled dies are usually pretty obvious visually, among other characteristics:
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
It is not a DDR.
Keep looking, and good luck:}
In fairness to the OP......Not many double dies are as obvious as the 1955 Cent.
Ok so... This is a different one if you look at the Last A in America, you can see a line inside , also inside of the 2 ....?
I don't see any doubling.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, evn when irrefutably accurate.
Not even in the 2 or the R or A in America? Hmm.... How can I take a better pic? Or something?
****Sean**** you came here asking for the forums opinion right? and people have said NOdoubling and yet you insist it is.
Why dont you do some research lots of posts on it or google search since somwhow? you were able to find this forum
.
You might learn what a true doubled die in fact is and is not if in fact your really interested.?
By your previous posts on the subject I dont think you comprehend it.
A couple of thoughts.
First, I do not believe that the coin is a doubled die - on either side.
Second, it is rather rare to have a doubled die of either side, but even rarer to have a coin struck with doubled dies on both sides on the same coin. (But they do exist - like the Stone Mountain commem)
Third, when the die that strikes the coin is doubled, usually "areas" of the coin appear doubled - not a single letter like the reverse A or the obverse 2. In these examples, I would have expected doubling on "America" and the entire date. Maybe not all to the same extent, but evidence of more doubling.
Fourth, take the time to read about the different forms of doubling. You will learn much more about them than by posting random coins and asking for opinions. This will make your search more productive.
Over and out.

If you think you have a DD, start by proving to yourself that it is not machine doubling or die deterioration. If you don't know what those are or how to tell, then that is the first question to ask (but in these cases it has already been answered).
Thanks guys. I just can't grasp the doubled dies I guess... Thanks tho . I'm trying
As far as taking better pictures. A copy stand of some sort to steady the camera, no way you can do crisp hi rest pics hand held. Next, for sharp pics, a good Macro lens. Good lighting, and lastly, a decent DSLR camera. You should buy Mark Goodman's book on coin photography.
Coin photography is part art, and part science. And like many skills in life, taking great coin pics requires a lot of practice and experience, not to mention hundreds if not thousands of pictures. Of course you need photo editing software too.
