I found a 1968 double die Lincoln Cent from a forgotten mint set; this penny is still in plastic. I see double, but maybe you can find more.
I am not sure if you see what I see?

Pictures aren't the best, but I am not seeing really any doubling. Looks normal to me. If you do see doubling on your coin, it's most likely Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling.

Given the posted photos, I'm not seeing evidence of DDO features.

IMO here is the most spectacular DDO in the Lincoln Cent series. PCGS AU55.

I am sorry, you cannot convince me that this is a true double die. This example/coin double die pattern and style look like a man-made double die. And so identical to the coins on Etsy.com. It needs to be investigated by an independent agent, fraudulent shame. This coin is one of many. Good lord.

Check out "The 9 Classes of Double Dies" and "Two types of Doubling" @conecaonline.org. If you already have, disregard learning.

You really need to do some basic research regarding double dies, especially on the 1955 DDO. It's the "classic" DDO.

Five minutes going to PCGS, NGC, Heritage, Great Collections would have shown you that the above photo is a legitimate example.

Here's two links for you;

@E and V, that is more of a realistic coin. This type of coin, double dies, is hard to find. Thank you for the information.

The original coin posted above, does not appear to be a DDO in my opinion. The rest that were posted as examples are DDOs

I got my toy (microscope) today; the glare you see is from cellophane. This coin is still in the plastic folder, an uncirculated coin. I did not do the back, but they look the same fat.

It's Machine Doubling, not a DDO.
