1939 Jefferson...With doubling?
Hello all! Work was good to me today. Picked up a nice 1944 wheat cent, a $100 series 1950 C FRN, and this 1939 jefferson nickel. I checked my coin values catalog for the jefferson and noticed that there was a variant in 1939 with the word monticello on the reverse doubled. I ran a couple of high res scans on mine and believe it may be one of the doubled variety. I was hoping some of you could take a look at these scans and give me an estimate of the overall grade of the coin, value, and whether there is doubling on the word Monticello. Thanks.

That's not it. What you have appears to be mechanical doubling.

Check out this link to see some pic's on what the real DDR looks like.
Note, there are 2 DDR for this date, but for the most part they look the same.
