Stony, there are a few great resources for determining the difference between Machine Doubling and a true doubled die. The first MD article is Coop's guide, found by clicking the Machine Doubling link right here. His guide is huge but it has a lot of pictures. The other MD resource is Error-Ref.com:

The best two comprehensive sites for true doubled die coins are Variety Vista and Wexler's guides. Both guides are pretty huge, and can be intimidating to rookies.

I also happen to really like the NGC Variety Plus site. They are a third party grading platform. They only cover the most popular and clear cut variety coins, and their site also includes a price guide. You can also look up prices on PCGS, but you have to know what specifically you are looking for first. Which is why I prefer NGC VarietyPlus:
