Not seeing a doubled die. The FG is either worn or grease filled. The dot above 1 would not be a bubble because it is not copper plated zinc. It looks like a die damage to me.

I don't see a doubled die either. Looks like a gouge above the 1.

To me it looks like coin contact moved part of the metal on the 1.

Not 1966P-DDO-001 The U in TRUST is a great help on identifying this die:

The widening of devices can come from a few things I can think of.
1. Circulation damage and wear can flatten/remove the upper parts of devices.

2. A struck through error can also make the devices look wider. (because the tapered devices are block from forming leaving the wider base of the devices)

3. Die wear/die deterioration can make the devices look taller/wider on the side facing the rim.

But on doubled dies, the widening includes the taper of the devices showing them wider and still narrow at the tops of the devices.
