[QUOTE="gotchange, post: 2101003, member: 73688"]I am afraid I may not be much help. I can not tell to much with the way the light is there. I find it interesting that they (coin grading folks) say the lettering has a small med or large spread that constitutes doubling. I still do not know how one would be able to tell. However, when I'm going through older cents I see that some sport a spread. I have yet to find a good double in cents still.. Found several small doubling in other coinage though. :D recently (within the last six months) I got a better understanding of what to look for in double dies, it is a directional thing, if the coin is doubling say counter clockwise then all of the doubling would be in the same direction..
