I agree with you that it somehow looks like LEGERTY, but this is unfortunately not because it is a DDO. Evidence of a DDO is what would appears to be a second image of some of the devices on the coin, but you seem to have environmental damage of some sort, or perhaps a BIE like die crack. Definitely one to keep just because it's a wheatie, but if you want to know what to know where to look for the DDO, do a search on this excellent site: http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php
I really cannot tell much of anything from the images - too small. But if the only place you see anything is in the first few letters of LIBERTY, then you have a damaged coin.
Beck - If you bring it to the F.U.N. show in Orlando in a couple of days, I will take a look at it for you. I will be at the Central Florida Coin Club table for all of the show.
