Nope. Not a Doubled Die.
Flat and shelflike.

 

According to Variety Vista and Wexler, the known DDO's for that year and MM are all Proof issues except 1971-S 1¢ WDDO-006 but yours is not it. As stated above flat and shelflike, You can see how the profile of the numbers has been narrowed

 

Sigh. I guess the coin gods doesnt want me to find one hahaha.

 

Don't give up hope, they are out there, sometimes in the most unlikely places. I found this one here in Spain in what was a "searched" bag of 300 cents.

 

I guess if I do not see it in the examples of ddo, It is not a ddo.
I guess I need to look for more examples. I thought the 7 had a doubling for sure because of the left lower side.

 

here's what they are talking about:

 

Got it. So basically mine is a extreme flattened ?

 

Yes.. And notice that there's no notching.

 

Also note how the size of the raised area of the numbers/letters is made smaller in appearance due to the machine doubling, whereas with the true doubled die the letter/number area is larger, as well as having the notching.

 

Sorry, go fish (I mean that in the nicest way. Keep looking.)

 

hahaha thanks. I don't think I will stop looking. btw is this another example of a flattened double? or pmd
