Hi Manuel,

Sadly, I don't see anything on the part of the coin in your picture which indicates a doubled die to me.  What you appear to have is what is known as machine doubling or strike doubling.  Here's a great article from our hosts which explain the differences and that show great examples of both types of doubling:
