The close up images are good, but please also remember to include an image that shows the entire obverse and the entire reverse. That really helps these guys in their analysis.

Sounds like you are questioning your ability to discern a DOUBLED DIE from Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling.
Here is a nice thread to help you out:http://goccf.com/t/51410

And don't forget to do some homework.
Every now and then I refamiliarize myself with the doubling on each particular date on websites:
Doubleddie.com http://doubleddie.com/228401.html
varietyvista.com http://www.varietyvista.com/
coppercoins.com http://coppercoins.com/
crdievarieties.com http://crdievarieties.com/doku.php

One time I went through 6 boxes of pennies and found ZERO doubled dies.
Good luck on your first find CRH!

If you have any local coins shops near you, I suggest trying to buy up some wheat bags and searching for doubled dies in there. They are more plentiful In there than Bank wrapped rolls. At least, my wheat bags are.

I work at a coin shop, and my boss can't tell MD from a doubled die to save his life. Why I was hired.
