  Thanks for the help - and that's a cool scan of it Type2 (neat doubling, way more extravagant than I expected).

  The feather tips also will show significant doubling.

  With the significant doubling readily apparent on the feathers also, it may be possible to identify a dateless buffalo nickel as the 1916 double die..... how cool would that be??

  Here are 4 QX-3 pics of the date on the 1916 that I have... it seems to have metal showing between the tops of the date: 9*1*6 and within the number 6 and along the ribbon...? But doesn't show doubling on the feathers, however - there is slight doubling on the forehead and down the nose of the Indian.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Might this be a milder form of doubling? Any thoughts??

  Not a double die. Most likely a small cud.... a small area where a portion of the die broke away...
