i can't seem to find any matches on any lists for this. I assume that means that this is not a DDO, but the tail of the "5" really has me stumped. Is that DDO?
From the Book by Charles Daughtrey "Looking through LINCOLN CENTS Chronology of a series" page 182:
Quote: Master die doubling shows as a thin curve on the part of the 8, and the master die gouge on the top right corner of the 8 that is commonly but mistakenly referred to as a 7 digit."
These are fairly common often seen more on earlier die states. But they are not a doubled die. So the example you have is an EDS coin. Note how clean the fields are and the crisp devices.
