    Okay, I know, but I still have to make sure. The coin looks to have been well struck, however worn it may be, and there are no other signs of doubling other than the OD in God. The highlights show from all angles. I looked but could not find any DDO for this date on any of the sites that I know of, so that doesn't help my case any.

    It's not a doubled die. It could be attributed to a certain die pairing though. Maybe a type of Longacre doubling

    Definitely not a DD. It’s a nice looking coin though, and I do like the doubling on it even though it’s not a Doubled Die.

    And, of course, 1913-P is a better date, even in VG!

    This. Only 188K minted! Nice one to have. Decent example, too.

    Flat and Shelflike doubling. Not Doubled Die.

    I'd say that those 2 letters were handpunched to correct a problem there

    Thanks for all of the feedback, just as I suspected but you have to make sure.
