I'm not an expert but I do believe this is a ddo and reverse.but I may be mistaken. That's why I come to ask people with greater knowledge of such. More than myself thanks guys.

 

Hi

Imho, looks like damage. I don’t see any doubling of any kind.

 

I do not see it. Perhaps if you indicated where? I do see possible thicker letters on MONTICELLO but thinking that is due to circulation wear - or else too worn for me to distinguish!

It IS possible for BOTH sides to show doubled dies:

I'll get better shots

 

It's on every s on the coin jeffersons face. The g in God. Same on reverse sucks my Camera is horrible

 

Your second set of photos are no better. When I click on them to enlarge, all I get is a blurry image. If you want to post close-up images, you'll need a better camera and a copy stand or tripod.

Although I do not see any doubling on the lettering, etc. on your photos , the way the letters are pushed to the edge due to over use of the dies, does indicate a false doubling called die deterioration doubling which is considered damage. Yes, good images are needed. IMO, Jim

 

Here's a picture of my 1980 P mine has problems on reverse side its missing the O in Monticello its a bad die and the words FIVE CENTS is bad and the left side of the building is worn down more than the right side normally the stairs or middle ware first but mine is real shiny and yours isn't. Looks like a bad year for poor JEFFERSON.
