Is this doubling?
On this 1950-D
I am looking at the G in GOD, the LIB in Liberty, and the date

There comes a point when a doubled die is just to minor to be listed and this may be the case. I do not see any doubling, however, that is not saying that there is none.

We must remember that any multiple hubbed die is in fact a doubled die; it is the amount of magnification that is needed to see that doubling. Case in point; while most of us use 10X to 15X to look for this variety type, we do have the option of higher magnification. If you use a scope with 100X, you are going to see doubling that the 10 to 15X does not see. If you use 200X, then doubling that was not appearent with the 100X will come into focus. Put any multiple hubbed coin under 1000X and you will see doubling, no matter what.

Just some thoughts on a doubled die.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary from images. Three things that affect/cause doubling on coins is:
1. Machine doubling
2. Die wear
3. ejection doubling

But a real doubled die is just a die that is doubled. The greater the separation, the better it can be seen. The more the separation the more demand for it. In the case of the 1955 doubled die the extreme, the amount of people wanting this one has driven the price very high.
