I found this cent and believe it to be a 1970 S double die. I have not looked at it yet other than have to seller send me a picture.

Any comments or concerns would be great and appreciated.

From the images it looks like Machine Doubling. This was very common on the 1968-1972 cents. When the devices are altered after the strike this is called Machine Doubling because the machine damaged the devices after the strike. A doubled die has the doubling on the die that enlarges the devices. MD reduces the size of the devices.

Machine Doubling looks like this:

Note the IN that is a doubled die? That show there can be a spread and even notching on a doubled.

But Machine Doubling can also affect doubled dies the same way it alters normal dies. Better images would be a lot better to see for sure.
