Please see the note I added to your post. Make sure to take the link there and read the guidelines for future posts to help us help you better :)

Your coin:
Sometimes when the mint mark was hand applied by a man using a special punch, he would make two impressions in the die of the mint mark. When there were two marks made, this was known as a re-punched mint mark or RPM.

The following will help you identify actual doubled dies and RPMs:

Here is a way to find immediate answers when finding something you suspect is a doubled die or RPM:

Note:
If you do not find your coin listed using this easy method, then you most likely have a damaged coin or other issues like (non collectable) machine doubling, die deterioration doubling, etc. (look these up at error-ref.com)
