Is this a master die doubling? Not sure if you can tell or not.

Master die doubling would be classified as a die variety, not an error. It simply means a doubled die that occurs to the master die, which could in turn transfer to hundreds of working dies and mint hundreds of millions of coins. It's usually so common it's on half or more of all coins minted in a specific year.
If yours is anything, it would likely be the master die doubling since I don't see anything in the image. Master die doubling on 1972 cents occurred to about half of them and is very easy to find. If you get out a couple of rolls o them and look through them you're almost bound to find a few examples.

The reason we know it is master die doubling is this, it is found on all three mints from the hubs created from the master die. Not all coins have this doubling so more than one master die was used that year, cause not all have the doubling from the master die that was doubled. Hope this makes sense.

Yeah the picture sucks, I couldn't get it any better. 
The penny shows doubling if you could see it. I only have 1 does this make it a one of a kind.

Are you sure you only have 1. Out of 25,000 you have got to have at least 2.

You could always do it like some ebay sellers...

I never did real good with the selling part, I might have sold half of what I put up.
