But, yea, the photography is great.

Die bounce/chatter or strike doubled for short.
Hoard the keys.
Maybe it's just me but when you ask for opinions like this, why be so secretive, not me, but these folks are sharing there opinions and knowledge....?????
However, there is also Machine Doubling on the coin which makes attribution difficult.
Perhaps better photography would be more revealing with regard to the actual doubling.
What I mean by that is that simply zooming in most times only reveals specific serif doubling but a slight tilting of the coin in the light might reveal other telltale signs of doubling.
It's all in the lighting.

I would say yes but kinda hard to see even with the close up pic I'll pass.

Could be a first...I'm hoping!!

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
<< <i>How about this if you can't see it, then it isn't, even though it could be
This is an accurate assessment for some new die researchers in that folks who have little experience (I'm not saying the OP is of little experience since I don't know him from Adam but the mere act of asking does offer some clues) tend to "visualize" instead of actually "see". I'm just as guilty as the next guy as I have many, many coins that were purchased because "I" could see doubling. That didn't mean that there was doubling though. (Which there wasn't)
I learned several years back that if I had to visualize it, then it probably isn't there.
However, one of the OP's photo's does show what appears to be a split serif on the R. Knowing what the coin is would make an assessment a little bit easier since some coins have a tendency to strike up a certain way which gives the appearance of doubling. There are also many coins that have Master Die doubling which is usually only visible with a strong strike.
I'd still like to see some better photography which is aimed at highlighting the areas in question instead of simply zooming in to the molecular level.

<< <i>I m amazed just didn't think a minor infantismal one counted. If you need a super magged photo to barely see something it shouldn't then be of any importance.

Another good assessment Al.
Some of these varieties have importance to die specialists as one type of variety could point to another more substantial possibility. Just look at the 2009 DDR Lincolns. That first one reported kicked off a whole lot of searching and die discovery.
BTW, those follow up photographs shopw a lot more than the initial photographs. Thanks and Congrats.

<< <i>I don't think so, but I'd like to know what camera/lens combination that you used!!!
Nikon D300, Nikkor 85mm Micro T&S with 1.4x converter and 20mm extension tube.

It is a TDO like it or not... While it may not be collected by the majority neither are Capped bust half dimes.

The tripling is there plain as day!! While it may not be a highly collected TDO it is still there. There are thousands of ddo's and tdo's in the lincoln series and most of them are so minute many here would claim irrelevance. Yet there are collectors who collect them.
