I think you are doing something seriously wrong. Variety Vista doesn't even list any Doubled dies for 1981, how can you say it is exactly like Variety Vista when they don't list any?

The damage to a coin would cancel any premium if it were a die variety. But when using the Variety Vista, note the description of the doubled dies. They show images of the whole coins devices, even it those areas are not affected. So if you are comparing, then read this first to see what areas of the devices are showing the hub doubling or just showing normal devices. Sometimes just certain devices are affected. So always read the Descriptions first. Why are the other devices there? So if you have a certain variety, then you can check to see markers that ID the die state, when your coin was struck. (Markers, like die scratches that area like finger prints to a certain die, at a certain stage of it die life) So in order to have a certain die, all the devices will be showing the same spread as the ones identified in the Description box area. The other devices will be normal, just like a normal coin would have.  This line on the listings if the one to look for. (This is an example and not for your coins date) CoopHome: Why does my coin show matching devices on some images of Variety Vista and other areas don't match? always read the description box for the affected die variety devices FirstEdited by coop

Even it is were a doubled die, the damage to the cull would make this a cull coin. So when you see even one mark on a coin, consider it a lost cause. The damage turns it into a face value coin.

even on a coin with a variety or an error I always thought that any circulated coin would be more than face value but its still fun trying to figure out how to spot what a doubled die looks like I think I'm starting to figure it out

Most of the doubled dies listed bring very little, if any, premium in circulated condition. In fact unless a very high grade, most of the doubled dies listed too minor for people to be interested in them.
People mainly hunt for them for the fun of finding them and do not make a lot of money doing it.
