1957 penny

anyone seen anything like the doubled 7 on these?
Brought it in to dealer last month and he said it was a double. I thought it was a cud, etc but he explained that it was too uniform and in line. Said most cuds aren't that straight and more blob like. He explained to hold onto it as it could increase in value, but not a guarantee . He also said value would change if more showed up to where it could be listed as a variety. If nothing else shows up, probably wouldn't increase in value.
So is there a set number of an item that sets it as a variety?

The dealers right, it's doubled but it's machine doubling if that. That's what he left out.

I could be wrong but I believe that the "7" actually took a hit (damage) on the tail and is what caused it to spread out!

It's a pretty common date for cuds, filled dies, machine doubling, etc. Not dramatic enough to have a premium IMO.
