There are several different kinds of doubling that can be found on coins -- whether it's caused by a doubled image on the die used to stamp the coin, or caused by excessive wear or damage to the die, or caused by the coin being actually stamped twice, or caused by other reasons.
There is an excellent web page that explains the different kinds of doubling (with pictures) here : http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/OtherFormsOfDoubling.htm

How do you tell the worth of a 1961 gold penny with 12-31-74 stamped on it?
The US has never made any gold one cent coins. It may look like gold (toning) or may have been gold plated, the counter stamped date or plating was not done by the US Mint and adds no value at all to the coin. The coin is worth one cent unless you find someone that wants it.

What is the value of a 1964 penny that has a fingerprint actually stamped into the coin?
It's worth a whole cent. The fingerprint isn't stamped in but was etched when someone handled it with dirty fingers. Over time, the oils from your skin will react with the metal in the coin, actually eating into the surface of the coin, which may make it look like the fingerprint was stamped into the coin. This is considered damage to the coin and can easily make the coin worthless to collectors.
