I think the rooftop is light induced doubling
Not highly experienced with quarters, but of those I've seen, the barrel and rooftop all seem to be the same.

The rounded part looks like it took a hit PMD
Sometimes, you need to really look hard (for me, several times!), to see that it is just damage.

@Snailking1 So looks like a hit but it actually curve with the barrel. I have another microscope and I can see the curves with barrel.

Interesting. Thank you for the close up picture. Maybe a DDR? It's kinda in the middle of the design, where Single Squeeze Doubled Dies happen usually.

It so hard with pictures. I am trying to get the best view of what I'm seeing it is harder to translate it to picture.

Roofline could be, then. That spot does have an angle which can sometimes be deceiving.
You can (obviously) see everything better because you have the coin in hand.
If you can eliminate the possibility of it being PMD, you might want to send it in for attribution, then you'll know for sure.
I've got several which I need to pack up to send in.
Plus, it's kinda fun to see your name getting credit for the find

I know right, I'm pretty new to this. Its been a struggle for me to understand doubling. LOL! Let me see what others think. I may give it a shot.

Also look at the top of the barrel openings is much smaller.

Machine Doubling there. The second barrel is a common place for that doubling to appear.

I took another picture and side by side hopefully you can see the difference. The trees are even thicker.

Sorry, I personally can't tell anything from the side by side.
The appearance of extra thickness to the trees could also be caused by some Die Deterioration
