I call it damage to the "D" unfortunately.
There might be a very slim chance that the metal that was supposed to form the top of the "D" got stuck in the die and broke off when the coin was ejected.
In that case its just a "damaged" coin, with no added premium.
I tried to see if there was significant Machine Doubling on the coin from the whole obverse shot, but I was unable to.
IF there is Machine Doubling in other areas, like on LIBERTY or the date might travel from the top left (North West) and travel to the bottom right (South East) in direction. It can be heavier or lighter, depending on how the die lifted and how quickly the coin was ejected.
But, one can only contemplate; One never knows what truly happens to a circulated coin, or how it was treated in the past.
