True DD on 1979-S SBA?

Good evening! I am here once again in the hopes of learning from everyone. Yes, it's another DD question from me. But this time, I think I may have a winner here.
What I have is a 1979-S SBA. I am pretty confident that the die doubling I see in the phrase " IN GOD WE TRUST" were not from die degradation.
So I am hoping to get everyone's opinion, comments and inputs. Thank you.

Btw, this is the reverse of the same coin. Unlike the doubling on the obverse side, the doubling seemed to have resulted, in my opinion, resulted from degradation. Am I right?

 

Sorry, forgot to post pic.

 

Doesn't look like a doubled die to me

 

How about in these angle from the same coin? See any doubling? Thanks

 

IMO, not a doubled die - strike doubled only.

 

Ditto!

Man, I thought I finally found one. Thanks for the info guys!

 

Pretty much a spendable coin, right? Thanks

 

I would keep it because it really looks interesting and it's just a buck. I find it almost impossible to distinguish among the many types of "doubling" and the one cornerstone I hold in mind is that you should see notching at the corners of mostly straight features, like on "T"'s.

 

Ditto dittoed? Oh, hell.... thirded.

 

How about "Doubled Ditto"?

 

That'll work... and much better too.

 

Here's a true doubled ditto

 

I'll heed your suggestion and keep it. I just thought my DD drought was finally over. Well, on to the next one. Thanks

 

If you have a dealer near you or maybe a decent coin show, why don't you look for a 1966 or 1967 SMS set. Some of the Kennedy half dollars are known to have very nice doubling on them and the sets don't really cost that much.

This is a Kennedy from a 1966 set.......

Respectable attitude, sir; kudos!

That said, if you really want to end your drought, there are tons of very minor DDRs in the late Lincoln memorial series that can be found with relative ease. Just a couple rolls should produce one or more; they're really that plentiful, and appear to be nothing more than a little blip to either the left or right of the memorial statue. Nothing to brag about, of course, but they can be fun finds and can help to train your eyes as well. Good luck!

 

So since all of you have been patient and very forthcoming with sharing your expertise, would you guys be kind enough to indulge me one more time. How would you categorize the doubling present from this that I just took not even 3mins ago? Appreciate it gents.

 

-sigh- still ddd

 

Yes, sir; the coin displays fairly severe die deterioration that, unfortunately, is responsible for the visible "doubling", or at least is from what I can see.
