I am not sure where to look for it if it can be seen it will be small. you may need a closer shot.

And look here to double check your coin.      http://www.varietyvista.com/

In the date "1973" look at the "973" compared to the "1"

Go to the following sites to look for an EXACT match.  If you're looking for doubled dies, you should have these bookmarked and they should be your first stop.

Www.varietyvista.com. (as recommended above)

Www.doubleddie.com

FWIW  looks like minor MD to me

Yes that could be Mechanical Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling I don't see a listing on Vista for a DD on the date like that.

If you found it abandoned, sure, you would have acquired a free cent. Seriously though, a coin such as you describe is not known, I'd say it doesn't exist, but a guy can hope right. There are a few known DDO's that no TPG's recognize, and they are so minor I doubt that anyone could positively identify them using the above pics. It looks like a decent enough place holder for an album though. 

Now, where are Kurt's eye poking needles.....

I'm not seeing anything special here.  It just looks like regular old 1973 cent to me.

Soooooo much chatter on that baby!

Just some strike doubling, the reverse die looks ever so slightly MAD (a term for when the die is not perfectly centered).   Note how the rim is very thin on one side and thicker on the other, this likely caused the coin to move as it was struck which resulted in the strike doubling to be more noticeable on the obv.   Its an interesting find that shows some of the striking anomalies that happen but none of it adds any value or makes the coin collectable as an error.

Im definately not experienced enough to call it but id like to take a stab at it. Ive been learning a whole lot here for a couple years. With the pictures provided it looks like it was struck from a worn die giving it that doubling effect. Once you see a couple true dd coins in hand you will learn the differance in them pretty quickly.
