Yeah, I thought the exchange rate was 1 thought = 1 penny. Of course, that was in 16th century England, so we would have been talking about a...
I think the better question to ask is what's happening to the editing of the Red and Blue books.
There are plenty of doubled dies that can be found in these proof sets. 1955 has a DDO cent, but not the famous one, also nice tripled die...
If I put your user name together with that post, I have to wonder where these acid dipped wheat cents have been and exactly what the story is. :)
If they're together in a small submission and both have the same kind of toning, they're going to be extra conservative with what they call them....
It, together with the PCGS photograde app should take you far in grading circulated coins. The photo quality is more consistent on PCGS...

It looks like you're trying to set the white balance on the coin rather than a white piece of paper or gray card.
Your coin is strike doubled (machine doubled). Note especially the W in WE. Rather than having two separate sets of serifs and being a bit...
Good books include, but are not limited to: The Red Book of Morgan Dollars (I think this is the Bowers book you refer to) The VAM Book shown above...
