Not seeing any doubling on this coin.

Your magnified pictures are pretty good. I think they could benefit from illumination by a small white LED light wrapped in a tissue.

There's no doubling on your coin. Your coin has to match exactly to the known Doubled Die and die markers. It can't be similar. It has to match exactly.

Unfortunately unlike horse shoes and hand grandes, with doubled dies, "close enough" is not valid.

Why?
How coin dies are made/used:

After you see that (intersting!) link, you will understand when a die is accidentally given a doubled image, all it can make are absolutely IDENTICALLY doubled coins.
