Geepers ... I am no expert ... but that looks like a true DDO to me ... believe it is known as a pivot-type doubling ... This would be a great discovery coin ... if confirmed by the experts.  Need the truly knowledgeable folks to show up and opine ... my limited knowledge is saying you have a winner. Stay tuned ... the CCF pros are on the way. David Edited by nickelsearcher

That's weird, one angle looks like a true double die and another angle looks like Machine Doubling! |

Great pics, it's strange though it does look as though from one angle we're looking at just Machine Doubling but from other angles I can see the notches required of a DD. Best of luck, hope it turns out as a DD! |

Looks like the angle of the light may be giving the appearance of a DDO. Happens alot with brilliant coins with light. Try to diffuse the light to make the pic "duller". The letters look like they are of normal size. Good find if it's is a DDO! |

Look at the very first picture of the Cent. (the full obverse) The Liberty looks normal. If it was as doubled as some of the pictures are making it look it would be evident in the first picture. I believe this is a lighting issue. This is just my opinion and I am far from an expert.
Happy Hunting
