The dots should be more egg shaped and the devices need to be thicker. On hub doubling the amount of spread will vary. On this image you will see a side by side of hub doubling and your coin. You will see what new information you need to feed your eyes with.

Something I just noticed today on my images of the 38S is that the devices on hub doubling can show curves instead of the block shape of most of the devices. Note the "L" on PLURIBUS. See how instead of a sharp corner, it turns with the hub doubling. Of course if will not the be same from coin to coin, but I always look first for the "dots", then the "L" and the "E" on the motto. I've found some doubled dies that the hub doubling only shows on the left side of the coin. There are minor doubled die that will never be listed, but the mid/large spread should be. On the one I posted I would call that a mid spread. On a 1943 I posted the other day, I consider that a large spread. If you would like to see these images, I'd be glad to post them again. But sorry to say Deb, you coin looks normal. But now that I see that you eye detected this coin, when there is a doubled die, it will jump out at you. Many times we look too hard for a variety. But when we notice something minor, then we know our eye is starting to nice the difference. So if a variety comes under your glass, you will know it. Keep looking..
