I tried a different method with my picture taking this time. Hopefully you can see what I am seeing now.

Pics with the camera straight on the coin seem to work best. I do see the doubling on the T and Y of LIBERTY.

Decent images but not 1970s FS 101. I don't see any notching or separation on your coin.

Angled images can help with clarity sometimes but can distort the actual devices on the coin.
There won't be any question if you happen upon one.
There does seem to be some thickness on the verticle's of LIBERTY though.

Here is a set of images from PCGS that helps show the doubling better.

Note the location of the mintmark. It is not a match on your coin to die FS-101. So it is a DDO, but just not that one.

I have 3 of these 1970 S coins that look doubled.... I know that I do not have 3 of the FS-01-1970S-101 (029) But they look really close.

Anyways, here are some better pictures of one of them... I'm not sure if it's the exact coin from above or not because I have got the 3 of them mixed up looking at them..

This is the one that I think looks the closest

First note the mintmark location. Not the same as FS-101. On the motto, the glare is hiding what is really there. I'm guessing there is Machine Doubling there?

seeing the devices next to what you are comparing it with helps a lot more:
Possible-1970-S-------FS-01-1970-S-101-029
Note the Inverted images I created from your selection? The glare is hiding the MD on those areas. Machine Doubling happens on the outside of the devices. A doubled die shows spread in the center of the devices. This enlarges the devices. So to avoid this in the future, don't look at the outside edges of devices. Note if they are enlarged in the centers of devices. That is what you loo for to compare a match for a doubled die. Spread, and having the same exact spread on all the devices. Sometimes it looks the same one one device, but different on a different device.
For example:
Possible-1970-S-------FS-01-1970-S-101-029
Why are these two images showing different numbers for each image? While it looks like they are the same, but are they. On other devices on the coin, they are not the same.
Possible-1970-S-------FS-01-1970-S-101-029
Another SBS of the same two dies, but note how much different they are from each other? Even the dates are different.
Possible-1970-S-------FS-01-1970-S-101-029
But go back to the images of Liberty again. Note the doubling is not exactly the same. It is slightly different. So in order to have a correct number for a die, the hub doubling must match on all devices. So keep looking for the spread on the on the centers of the devices/enlargement of devices/distortion of devices on the centers of the devices, not on the outside edges. Because what is found on the outside edge on one side, is machine doubling.
