1976 Quarter Is This A DDR?

Thanks Mark, maybe, I'm not sure. A few more opinions might help.

The obverse is mostly DDD, the letters weird out closer to the rim, stretching and mushy looking IGWT, notice how LIBERTY near die edge is sheared off, the outside circumference tapering (grinding down of cylinder) is a VLDS die. Reverse die as well, look at the metal flow and letter curl near edge, that's at least an LDS with deterioration

My gut feeling is late die state with some added die abrasion wear in the area in question. That said wait for an expert or allow more time for research. Thanks, Doug.

Thanks Halo1st, you are the second opinion for wear on the die without a DD. Of course I think all my coins are Doubled Dies, but now it's 2 to 1 against. I'll go with that unless someone sways the count.
Thanks EandV, I agree the die is worn, was hoping it was a worn DD. Yes it would be good if Coop weighed in, he's a 99%er. A solid declaration from him is equivalent to 12 normal people votes.

The area in question doesn't seem to be an area where a clash would cause anything. But I feel it is from die polishing that was concentrated on that area. I searched several example on PCGS and found that the later die state show this. (Same as the coin I used) There was also a lot of MD on different examples of graded examples, but I feel it wasn't the cause of this mark on the OP's coin. More of an issue of isolated polishing that to the field down lower on this area leaving a raised area.
