No, that looks like a doubled die.

This type of DDO is the one that is opposite of worthless doubling. It is a classic example of added thickness, and has that cookie cutter style line, showing where one hubbing ( or impression) was placed on top of another. Most people do not focus on how dies are made and that these impressions are sunk into a working die. At shows people say double stamped. I ask them what do they mean and aren't real confident with their answer. I try my best to let them answer a few questions and achieve the answer themselves.

A coin like this educates a person to see a doubled die which is the more common version. It's not always going to look like a 1955, 1958, 1969-S nor the 1972 DDO Lincolns.

It's important to note that the impressions from the press onto the working die was at the same or nearly the same pressure. With this being said, when that die makes coins, the devices ( numbers, letters, buildings, animals, ect.) Should have the areas with the doubling at, or near the same height.
