Below are a few images I have of a Lincoln Memorial cent with, I'm pretty sure, doubling on the reverse in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and throughout the memorial building.

I just recently purchased a digital coin camera, previously having used the crappy camera on my Android phone. I thought I had more than these few photos but I can't seem to locate them. I can't remember the date either. I keep all my interesting and noteworthy pieces put away securely and was wondering if (1): is this even an example of DDR?, and if so, (2) is the doubling even remotely to a degree in which it may be within best interests to retrieve it, have it professionally graded and more thoroughly documented?

I can remember that there wasn't any doubling that I could locate on the obverse, and seen in the strangely vague photo of 1/3 of the date and beautiful D mint mark.

Ok thanks again everyone.

Another example of Machine Doubling. Note the shelf-like appearance.

Dmil070182,
Is that a 1987-D?
It is MD.

When you think you have a doubled die, go to varietyvista.com and try to find it. It must match all pictures in one listing or it is not a doubled die, but instead is a non-collectible type of doubling.

This is probably the best article available on Machine Doubling:

http://www.doubleddie.com/144822.html

There was also a PDF by J.T. Stanton floating around the Internet that had great pictures and explained MD, DDD, and true doubled dies quite well:
