I don't know anything about these so called "double dies", but I have heard of doubled dies... (pet peeve. :P)
Too many tricks of the light to figure out what's going on IMO.
Seriously, Tim? Hijacking the OP to call us all rookies and re-evaluate your coin, which you are now posting in a thread that you didn't start? If...
Not a doubled die, but a double struck cent! Very cool find!
Master die doubling.
Looks like a hit or MD. The first photo shows it the best. The coin does not have the appearance of a doubled die.
Can you be more specific as to what "error" you see?
I don't think the mintmark is an RPN. Looks like some contact marks or maybe MD that are giving it a doubled appearance.
I personally don't search nickel rolls, but I would say finding a shield nickel in a roll is quite rare. Do you have photos?
It looks like some art piece done by some guy in SF that runs a blog called "blackstock". (you can google it) I don't see what the big fuss with...

It isn't an "official" name for an error so there is probably little documentation on it. People sometimes call die breaks in this area "hornet's...
A better grade liberty cap, or some other AU-MS Large Cent.
Your mintmark is close, but not exact IMO. If you compare your picture to 1DO-001, your mintmark looks a little farther west than the one on the...
Jay, the coin you linked to is a class VI and is identified due to extra thickness, not because of any splits. From the pictures provided, I don't...
That's fine, but can you provide an image link of a coin that resembles what you are describing? Just so I can understand.
I think the coin has just been damaged significantly that it resembles a split in the date, so I don't think it's a doubled die. Can't really...
I am not seeing any splits so my opinion is MD. Could you post a pic of the date and mintmark in one photo?
Separate names with a comma.
