Any feedback is helpful thanks!
Looks like a DDO to me, nice find 👍
Edit: looks like I am vary bad at spotting my errors lol 😂
I spend most of my time on regular Business strikes and proof coinage or the 19th and early 20th century and ancients and Spanish. Not errors. Please let me know if the difference between machine doubling and Double die, I am vary curious.
It's machine doubling-of no consequence or extra value. You'll note that the Mint mark is also doubled. That wouldn't be the case on a true hub doubled die-the good kind of doubling.

what ↑ he said.
Mechanical doubling
Yes the coin in your photo shows mechanical doubling.

No doubt, mechanical doubling.

No, but you're looking in the right spot.
MD, but a good example of it.

Thanks very much I appreciate the input

This might help you to understand the difference. It helped me.
Yours should look like these:

Yea I am not really good with errors, it’s not my area of experience lol 😝. I am more of a regular issue 19th and early 20th century guy not much in errors. What’s the difference between machine doubling and double die. I have seen coins with a graded error of DDO that looks similar In doubling. Help me defer each from one another.
This site has a good explanation of the subject by John Wexler-

What about just double die? Is that hub Doubling?. Sorry I am really good with 19th and early 20th century U.S. coinage, not so much or error coins.
Repeat after me: "flat and shelf like". That is a hallmark of MD, and very clear in this example.
The devices are "sheared" by the die. The overall width of both the high and low parts equal the width of the normal characters.
I agree with machine doubling consensus. Great pictures. Cheers, RickO
Agree with @koynekwest. John has some good examples here..

Nice informative post.

Kennedys are my quest...
Thanks all for your input but I do have to say that not all doubled dies are that pronounced. Take this for example...
That one looks like the master hub doubling on the 1972.
I don't want to complicate this subject unnecessarily, but some doubled dies do not have the appearance of the typical examples shown. Class VI doubled dies, like this 1936 Buffalo nickel, will show extra thick numbers and lettering and not clear separation.
I don't see much of anything on that one. If you have to use 50x magnification to see it it's of little or no consequence anyhow.
It's a 69s
The shape of the B & E are similar to the 72.
The doubling is minor and common on the 72 and doesn't bring a premium.
I would guess the 69 would be the same.
Is this your coin? From the photo this does not appear to be from a doubled die, this looks like die erosion from an over worked die.

I agree-not a doubled die.
I would not say that they have no value, there are people who collect them. You might get 25c to a dollar for that coin. And with the way things are going today perhaps even more.
here is a doubled die - see the serifs near the U and A?
I don't see extra thickness to call it a doubled die.
Look into my doubling. I personally get dizzyer.
Now that’s a d.Carr double vision 🤓
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
Now that's a Class I doubled die, what most people think of when they hear the term.
@Jzyskowski1 you fancy huh!? Beautiful coins!
