This coin is quite worn from circulation [which flattens out all the elevated planes] making them look wider. It is extremely tough to attribute/verify coins in this condition. Your best bet is to look at examples of known DDs and find matching markers [such as the MM position].
It doesn't appear to be a DD to me. The spreading on the S is typical of that style [MMS-5]. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...20Styles.htm
I would recommend using a loupe for inspecting coins and the microscope for taking pics after you find something interesting with the loupe.
Nice pics [focused, cropped and oriented].
Many of these 1940's DDs are class VI which have certain characteristics such as [but not limited to]: "ski-sloped" E of WE and fat 9 on the date. And some of the 44's have mangled verticals on the 4's.
