ARE MY PICS BIG ENOUGH TO TRY TO DO THE GRID THING?
 AND IS THAT THE DOT ABOVE THE COLUMN?

OK...the 'spread' is the space or separation between the doubled letter/numbers etc. If you take a look at my avatar here, you can see the first 72, and then the next 72 to the northeast. This is considered a strong spread. The close spread you are looking for in 1DO-016 is the little notching you will see at the corner of the 7. This is a doubled die just like the 72 on my avatar, but the spread, or the space between the two hubbings is very close so that only notching, or a very slight separation shows.
To make it even more confusing, mechanical/strike doubling also shows a spread, but these are caused by the striking process...not the hubbing process where real doubled dies are made. The appearance of this type of doubling is flat and shelf like versus the rounded you would find on a genuine doubled die.
If you would like, I would be happy to send you a few doubled dies...especially those in the 70S series so that you can view the actual doubled die, compare it to the pics on the site, and get a good idea of what it is you are looking for. I have many duplicate 1970S doubled dies, and I would be happy to send you a few.

Send me an email at bobp@coppercoins.com, and we can discuss trades or donations. It is so much easier when you have examples of doubled dies so you can see them up close. As I said, I have many duplicates of these 1970S doubled dies. I will be happy to send you some.

I think something might be missing here...
You cannot search through coins looking for markers to determine whether the coins have doubling...that's backwards.
You search for the doubling and USE the markers to identify the die. Markers alone mean nothing.
I hope this helps.
