1970 s large date double die Lincoln penny

I'm brand new to this site as well as the hobby, so please forgive me for any mistakes or inaccuracies in going about things here. I believe I've found a 1970 s large date double die Lincoln penny and have some questions. First, is it actually what i think it is? Second, what's it's value? Lastly, if it is a coin of value what do i do with it now? Thanks

No, it is machine doubling of no value. You can tell because the images are one normal height and the other flattened. True DDO , both have similar height. This is up to when they changed to a single squeeze in the 90s. Here is a 1972 DDO




and here is one that is machine doubling on the date

Pretty, but worth just for effect.
