FINALLY!! Is this a true DDR?

Doubled Die Reverse 1973 D Lincoln Cent? Some questionable places on the obverse as well.... What do y'all think?
If this ain't it, I give up! Lol not really but this has to be one. The doubling is raised and going same directions on the affected letters! It is more obvious in real time, I did the best I could with the camera I have.

looks like machine doubling

 

Obverse

 

Noooooooo!!

 

Die deterioration the die was just about done....from all the strikes. Reverse MD

 

yup, reverse is flat an shelf like= MD....

 

LMAO!!!!

 

Don't give up! In my experience which is not much! When you see this on both the obverse and reverse it's in all likelihood not an actual Doubled Die. I try to remember that it must add something to the relief and not be flat and shelf like as @furryfrog02 always says about a (DOUBLE DIE ) !

 

It is very, very difficult to find a true doubled die error in circulation. 99% posted here are not. But the thrill of the hunt is worth it!

 

Doubled dies will look like this (my 1995 Double die)

 

I always wonder how many are passed up as MD, DDD and such. Then not posted from misinformation that are truly Doubled Dies! HMMMMM!
