I think you are suffering from an ailment that effects all variety hunters from time to time. You've spent so much time looking at a specific coin that your brain is forcing you to see what you want to see. Even upon closer inspection of above photos I do not see anything to persuade me that it is, indeed, a doubled die. Let's say everyone who has told you otherwise is wrong (I'm not saying they are wrong, just advocating) and there is a minuscule amount of true doubling, what good does it do you? Nobody really wants a variety they need an electron microscope to examine. Here is an example of a doubled die from Lincoln Resource that is exciting: -http://www.lincolncentresource.com/doubledies/1983ddo1.html There's no arguing whether that is doubled or not. That is what makes it desirable.
