is this considered doubling? And is there something wrong with his face?

Thanks for your help in advance, I’m very new to the entire collecting world and was wondering if you guys mind helping me out a little by telling me if you think this is doubling or not? Would the perfect triangle that’s missing be part of a broken guy that stripped the coin it was in a circulated coin set till 30min ago when I took it out of the plastic.
Also does the cheekbone or his face look off? I can’t pinpoint it, but it just looks different from other coins.
Thanks for all you help.

no doubling
take a picture using your phone or whatever you used to shoot the monitor. take a picture of the whole coin front and back
crop out everythig but the coin
Did you save the image I put in your thread asking about how to identify doubling on a Lincoln cent last April?

Thank you I did save it it looked like doubling but wasn’t sure hence why I wanted ur guy’s more experienced eyes.
You were already given some good advice about doubling in your thread from several months ago.

You haven't even provided the date of the coin which indicates a larger issue. If you want to look for DDs you should make a list of the dates/mintmarks that have known DDs and only scrutinize those.
DDs don't just pop up randomly. Searching every single coin for a doubled die is an enormous waste of time.
Sorry it’s a 69S here some more pictures
Hers some more picture the coin. Guess it’s not a DDO
Is this a die crack near the L?
i don't see a perfect triangle missing
on this coin there is no die crack at the L
the coin is out of focus. the background is in focus. get the sensor to focus on the coin then crop out everything but the coin
mint sets are quite a bit hunted for die varieties. it would be extremely remarkable to find a new die variety from one.
you can check known ddo/ddr/rpm on the https://varietyvista.com/ website
Finding doubled die varieties is not for you; just enjoy your coin collection as is.
Run off a copy, hang it some where 😎
You also need to take your pictures directly over the coin. not at an angle. Practice, Practice, Practice!

Why exactly are you making this statement??
Thank you will do just that, appreciate your help and input.
Because it the best advice I can give having read all of your posts and comments.
Sometimes, the most constructive feedback anyone can receive is to be told when they are going down the wrong path.
Trust me, finding varieties and errors is not for you. Don't give it another thought. Hope you find some other aspect of coin collecting that you enjoy.
Guess finding errors take trained individual with knowledge and probably tones of free time on their hands too… but then again some might just get lucky and find errors like this one once in awhile and find a silver 1981 d penny like this one…
Pictures don’t do it justice so my buddy uploaded a video

Your 1981D Lincoln cent is a plated novelty item and is not struck in silver –
3. 1 is normal weight for a copper cent.
