As a newbie, I figured it would be fun (read: I'm bored) to go to the bank and get a couple rolls of coins, and maybe see what I could find.

This was the first coin in the first roll. If this is anything, it's good luck, right?
From what I saw looking over it at 60X magnification this is the only doubling I ssaw. The coin is very circulated so a lot of previous doubling may of faded.

It could be Machine Doubling. On a doubled die the devices would be wider. This looks like normal size with the devices pushed from die movement during the strike. Here are a few doubled reverses to see what I'm talking about:

This one has Machine Doubling on the upper lower cross bar and hub doubling on the lower parts of these devices.

Doubling toward the rim:

Not from the image provided. Zoom out to show the whole letter and one on each side. That may tell more.

It's really not possible to tell with one photo of one single device. A theme needs to develop with images from all around the coin. The theme will determine whether it's a doubled die or nothing.

From the one single image I am leaning toward nothing, but would be very irresponsible to make a determination fron what I have seen.

I seem to have misplaced this particular coin... I'd forgotten about it. But, there was no other doubling visible anywhere else from what I saw. I'll pass it off as nothing, lol.
