    I am afraid I may not be much help. I can not tell to much with the way the light is there.
    I find it interesting that they (coin grading folks) say the lettering has a small med or large spread that constitutes doubling. I still do not know how one would be able to tell. However, when I'm going through older cents I see that some sport a spread. I have yet to find a good double in cents still.. Found several small doubling in other coinage though. :D recently (within the last six months) I got a better understanding of what to look for in double dies, it is a directional thing, if the coin is doubling say counter clockwise then all of the doubling would be in the same direction.. Wexlers die and variety has a real good article on the doubling, the direction they take, how it comes to be and their system used to identify,
    I do not have all of the identification down.
    I do know after I read it I had a better understanding of double dies. I hope this helped. May and may not have helped. Happy double dies to you...;)

    Anything that needs more than 10X magnification isn't worth the effort.

    One thing that really helps is to orient you photos correctly. Lot harder to see what's there with having to twist my head.
