I was checking my wheats for errors and came across this one. On the obv side is a die break error on the 6 in 1946 and I turn it over and find that its also double died at the E.PLURIBUS.UNUM area thats very rare right?

your images are a bit small for me to see what you are describing. the die break might be if interest to an error collector. the DDR (if accurate) would be likely be of interests to a variety collector. the combination while - less common - would probably not be of increased interest to both types of collector. just my opinion.

The mark on the 6 in the date appears to be parallel to the rim. This appears to be coin wrapper damage from what I can see. The EPU is too small to tell what is going on.If it is flat shelf like then it is probably Machine Doubling:

If the devices are enlarged it might be a doubled die:

How can you tell if the devices are enlarged?

The date on your coin suffers from damaged caused by a counting machine.

The reverse of your coin is very likely not a doubled die.
