Where do you see doubling?

Looks completely normal to me.

 

I also see no doubling.

 

It doesn't look like this.

 

Ok thank you I thought double die meant the color because it has. Purplish color to it but now I know

 

No.. That would be a double DYE

 

That's a great one ............
Should go down in Coin-Talk History Book .......

 

The die is the tool used to mint the coin. It has nothing to do with color.

 

Double Dye

 

With the new Breast Cancer Awareness commemorative 'pink gold' coins coming out, this just may be a new error! (Yes, I know they are not dyed)

 

I just want to add that there are a number of 1972 DDO varieties in addition to the main one shown by rickmp. From the photo I can't tell if it may be one of them.

 

I'm actually glad you mentioned this, and simply because it's something I had never heard of thought of before. Aside from the spelling differences, it's really not that unreasonable of an assumption for one new or unfamiliar with the hobby.

If still interested, the below links should be of some help in both learning how dies (and doubled dies) are produced, as well as the different forms of doubling you're likely to come across.
