viewing those two links before I start searching helps.

All the devices appear to be normal in size. In order for a coin to be called a doubled die, the devices would show evidence of hub doubling. Nothing appear to be doubled on your coin. When hub doubling appears, it enlarges the devices by making them wider or taller. On your coin they are normal sized. On the "WE" their looks like a very minor incidence of a slight Grease Fill making them look wider. but again with the top of the device not tapered, the base is still normal in width. There looks like minor machine damage on that area as well, but again these devices are normal is size for the base of these devices. The tops of all the devices appear to be slightly flattened in the centers of the tops of the devices. This happens during circulation on zincolns because the zinc is a softer material. On a hub doubled example, most of the time you see the base of the devices enlarged. this area is where to look. The tops of the devices when altered, are often dented inward. I do see evidence of this on your coin on both sides.

You'll find a lot of the zincolns from the 80's show die deteriation in this way like the center of the devices sink in and make it look doubled no idea why
