This may be WDDO 25 cent 1930-001. You might just be right! If I zoom in on the pics, I am pretty sure I see some split serifs on the date. |

Good eye guys! Appears to be WMDO-001, Master Die Doubling, common. Best shot I could get at the moment, so not great.  |

The keys for WDDO-001 would be "IN GOD" and "LIB" of LIBERTY. The key marker is the die polishing lines NNE from the first left star. Closeups of these areas could lock it.

AU-58 , environment toned it down to a dirty looking obverse . A little wear shows on a meaty SLQ .  |

Not a fan of the curb appeal, must admit.  |

@fortcollins, won't be able to get close enough shots of the areas in question, but it's not the WDDO-001, no die scratches at all present around IGWT. Just the master die doubling.

I'm not real good at this, but there appears to be some wear in the shield, maybe a slider?

There are missing rivets on the outer shield and very light die polishing lines on both the robe and the field between the inner shield and "TY" of LIBERTY. These suggest that some of what looks like wear on the shield is actually an abraded shield. That's a common issue, but makes grading SLQs an adventure.
I still can't get a good feel for a grade on this coin. I'm with @Ty2020b here, it's an either/or. It's a pretty decent coin. The reverse strike is nice. It's good to see one that looks more like an eagle and less like a flying barbecued chicken breast.
