Could you please post full photos of both the obverse and reverse .. kind of hard to judge the thickness of the lettering on close up images at an angle.. it does look like some thickness in the lettering but hard to tell from these .. don't get a new hobby.. just have to be patient and persistent :) .. if errors were common it wouldn't be fun and everyone would have all the errors.. makes the rewards all that much better.. after sorting through 700+ steel wheats I think I found a second DDO .. unfortunately I think I will have to clean the coin to be for sure.. but I am 95% sure I have an unlisted with a nice spread :) So they are out there.. just have to not let the grind get ya .. hahaha
Looks to me the coin was struck with VLDS dies. The direction of wear towards the rim and the heavy die flow lines are the clue. The 'ARTE' quarter looks different, but probably just die wear altering them.
