From what I can tell with the pic not as bright as should he and as good as quality as it should be with that being said looks like a DD to me better pics would help out a lot more to better identify it but I'd say yes it is

Can you give us a shot of the full coin? This will help folks get the total perspective. Also, try and reduce the glare if possible. Sometimes light bouncing plays tricks on the eyes. Welcome to the mix!  |

What is doubled? I see no evidence of hub doubling on your coin. |

Machine double or strike double as it is also caused to quote Coop, "look and see if th device are enlarged or reduced" Here is a Kennedy half dollar FS-101 probably one of the best and easy to cherry pick coins out there   Also to the forum! Keep posting Edited by rupester

The doubling or not I thought about is on top of GOD and thickness of it made me think it is not machine. Pictures were made with stereo microscope the whole picture that I am sending now is made with usb microscope. thanks.  |

The Doubling you are seeing in "GOD" is Machine Doubling. It is flat and shelf like. If it was a Doubled Die the doubling would not be flat and it would be as tall and as thick as the rest of the lettering and numbers on the coin. I'm sure others will comment on this as well...but here is a link that might help you... http://www.coingalaxy.com/coininfo/doubling.htmlEdited by Jayman931

Hang around here long and we will help you get rid of that term: "Rookie."

Another rookie here says the picture before this looked to clearly be Machine Doubling. This last picture has my eyes seeing triple. Goes to show you can't always believe what you see. Better wait for another opinion. Thanks. Edited by Halo1st
