I agree with everything Bryan wrote.

Thanks guys. I don't know that much about how to tell the differences, other than Machine Doubling is a break in the original lettering, where double die's are stamped twice. Here is another picture if it helps at all. I scanned it and the picture looks a little better I think. Could you tell me what to look for? How would I know if it was machine dbl or a double die?

Here is a little help in terminology. Coins are Struck, not stamped. A double die is not struck twice, but the correct term is doubled die. The hubbing of the die was doubled. So all coins made from that die is doubled. If the coin was doubled struck both obverse and reverse would be affected. It would really had been double struck. But a doubled die is usually only affect on obverse or reverse. There are cases of having a RPM and a doubled die or sometimes (very rarely) doubled on obverse and reverse. Hope this helps. If not ask again and someone else will help.
