Kind of hard to tell from the pictures if the serifs are clearly split or if they're MD with shelf like edges. Need some better pictures for us to be certain. You do have something there though be it DD or MD.

Very common Machine Doubling, not collectible hub doubling.

NDcent, the point you are not grasping is that true doubled dies are very hard to find. That is what makes them desirable and move valuable. Look how many coins you have posted. It is nearly statistically impossible for one person to find that many true doubled dies. I have been searching for doubled dies over a decade, and have found only a dozen of the truly noticeable ones. Instead of trying to argue your point, try listening to those with years of experience and those on this forum that have really learned what to look for.

I agree,it is Machine Doubling. The E in cent is the first thing that caught my eye. there is a shelf that goes north on the side of the E and continues unbroken like a frame on top of the first horizontal line that forms an E.
Check out John A. Wexler's Error page and look for DDO LISTINGS, FIND YOUR DATE, he has pictures and includes other things you can look for like die scratches that occur when there's doubling.
And also subscribe to CoinOpps on YouTube, he has more than one very educational video on types of doubling.
There are several types, strike, machine and of course hyb doubling(what we know as doubled die).
You should look for tiny splits in the serifs, top or bottom because doubling rotates according to the position of the die.
Then, along the letter, there are often whatblooks like gashes, but it is actually where thev letters separate, sometimes like in the 1955 lincoln incredibly like four 5's.
And ither times, it can only be seen under magnification.
But the part that seperates should be rounded on top, just like the letter, it is doubling.
On 1972 pennies that are doubled, where the doubling occurs like on the date 1972, the bittom of the 9, is split and the doubled 9 just passes the bottom of the one it doubled.
When doubling happens like in class 1, DDO-001 ,I THINK THE DOUBLING IS CLOCKWISE, but other times the doubling goes counterclockwise, or doubles towards the rim or towards the center.
Just keep plugging, man, it doesn't always matter how long you have been collecting when it comes to doubled dies or for that matter finding any rare coin; it also depends on luck.
Modern coins,even some circulated coins can be very valuable and yes, many can be found in pocket change or a piggy bank, or grandpa's junk drawer.
I am not a professional,and the million dollar coins are out of my league, unless one lands in my lap in a roll of half dollars, quarters, nuckels, or dimes. I's not like the lottery. You have to be willing to learn what to look for, but it is like the lottery in one way
you can be the one who finds the coin everybody's been looking for,too.
Good luck.
Keep looking, you will find a 1972 doubled die.
I had all these old wheat pennies, worthless as far as I was concerned unless it was a bronze 1943,steel 1944, 195 or 1958 DDO, or a 1909 with the initials. But last week I was going through them looking for re punched munt marks and I found four 1936 wheats. I looked at them, and then watched a youtube video about 1936 DDO, I looked at them again and guess what?
One of them was a true DDO and eventhough it's BR, brown, it is still valuable.
