I pulled this out of a proof set because it sure looks like a DDO to me. The B E R in liberty looks "fat" compared to the rest of the letters and the 9 in the date has a nice little notch at 10 o'clock. The reverse looks a little "fat" too. I realize proofs are struck different but I still thought it looked a little different. Please let me know what ya'll think. The coin is super shiney so it was tough getting good pictures. Thanks for any information.

The B E R in liberty is bigger and the B in E-PLURIBUS-UNUM is different to me. I wish ya'll could see it in person. Thx for any information. Oh yeah...the R in TRUST is there but the leg is light.

They proof ones have the 1972-S PR WDDO then the number.

I see no evidence of hub doubling on the OP's coin. The glare is hard to look at and if there was something there, it would be covered over with the white light. The best way to take images of a doubled die, is 180 degrees opposite the way you took this image. The light from the opposite side will allow the light to fall over the device and not spot light the area you want to see.

Check the lighting on this coin. Note the light from the left falls over the hub doubling on the other side of the coin. That prevents the glare from looking like the sun when you are trying to show us something with too much light and at the wrong direction. I bet you will get something better with these suggestions.
