Good morning @John1!!
Yes, I was looking for a while one by one of the varieties for this coin , I don't know if my eyes are deceiving me but I couldn't find the match. I'm goin to try again and see if I can find. (I found a match for the G but when I look for the rest of the letters don't seem to be the same, and the same happens with the others letters)

Not seeing a DDO. All I see is MDD and reflection and glare phantom doubling.
Where do you see notching...I don't see any. Attached are a few 71S DDO examples showing some doubling and notching.

@astrox001 thank you for your opinion!

There are 20 different variations for this coin, and not all of them have notching but thick, in my pictures if you look at the G T And S you can see my coin indeed have nothing not that spread as those that you post but they have it. Thank you again for your opinion.

I hate proof DDs. They're the hardest for me to identify. Looks like one too me.

Be sure to try different scope angles. A couple weeks ago, I thought I had a 1990 proof JFK DDO. But when I began controlling the lighting and angles better, I realized that the mirrored surface of the proof can play a lot of tricks with light, especially with internal reflections from the case. I don't really have that problem with circulated coins because I can turn them whatever way I choose.

Just something to keep in mind. I've got no opinion on this particular coin, proofs clearly aren't my strong suit.

@Brandmeister yes you are right about the light and mirrored surface its hard to tell, but I take this photos with my microscope with low light, I tried to control the light. Here are some pictures with less light.

You don't need less light, you need different angles.

Comparing to the NGC library, it does have some similarities to CONECA: DDO-004, VarietyPlus: VP-002.

@atrox001 this is the best I can do it, unless I take the coin out of the box (case), because I am taking the photos with my microscope and the coin is flipped. May be I will try to take the coin out (i don't know how to do that lol) but I will try and take pictures from all angles and post in a new topic.
