The Flying Eagle Cent has always been one of my favorite coins. I bought another one a few days ago and it just got here and I'm fairly certain it is a doubled-die reverse, but I wanted to see if anyone else agrees. I bought the coin because of the condition (I paid $60 shipped), but when I looked at it I noticed what looks like a border around some of the bottom of the wreath. I checked my other Eagles and none of them have it from what I can tell. Even if it's not a d-d, I still feel like it was worth $60.

If it is a d-d, does anyone have any clue how much it might be worth?

I didn't take the photos, I just pulled them off of the ebay listing I bought them from.
