Die Deterioration is what caused the lack of detail and the connecting of metal in the shallow areas of the devices. That obverse die was striking coins well beyond its useful life span...

Thanks for the info SPP. ;)
I have another coin I found and I remember you told me a good indication of the 1967 DDO would be the middle serif on the E. Could you please take a look at this coin and let me know your opinion because I am almost convinced it is a true DDO. There is a lot of metal sticking out of the letters. If you have some time please take a look. ;)
