From the full coin shot, I do not see a doubled ear. Maybe a closeup? Not sure what the mint mark closeup is for but it's from a different coin than the full coin photo.

I believe that is actually a close up of the 'D' in 'GOD'

the 1983 D FS-101 (cross ref to variety vista DDO-001) refers to a doubled ear.
which yours is not.

Sorry, just noticed the "D" comment. Not sure what I was thinking. I think anything you are seeing on the other devices are just plating issues, which are very common with the zincolns.

Plating issue on the devices?
What about the pickup points the left side of the y in Liberty scratch mark, the the die scratch to the right of the nine, the guy scratch the bottom of the memorial. They're not as prominent as some butt they are there

I'll let other chime in with what they see but I just don't see it. Markers do not make a doubled die, they are just there to help, you have to have the doubled die first.

I agree, this one is not it. Likely some gas bubbles as they are common in that area.

You'll know it when you find it, as it is very strong and would be entirely obvious in your photos.

Looks more like Machine Doubling. Note the only affected areas are on the outside/inside edges of the devices, That is where Machine Doubling always happens. On a DDO, the spread is on the center area of the devices:

Machine Doubling removes part of the contour of the devices, making the devices smaller:
