I found this one in the wild yesterday. I think it's one I've been looking for. I'd appreciate opinions.

The first thing I look for on Kennedy possible DDO's are the wrinkles on the Neck below the Ear (of course not all are DD's)

On your coin I think it is a very close DDO , noting the doubling and notches on TR ,E of WE,notching on the upper serifs of U, left upper serif in first T of TRUST.My guess would be yes!

Cool! I can never find enough DDO's. I checked Mr. Wexler's, looks like he stopped at the 1967's.
The fourth pic is the only marker I could find, north and south die scratches. Maybe the wrinkles qualify?

Nice one CoinMasters! Definitely a DDO. It appears to have close separation and extra thickness in IGWE. Great score for you! :)

Thanks for the link Chase, I saved it for future reference. There was no mention of the wrinkles. Mine's not listed, maybe it's too minor.
Thanks EandV, I've found eight others of the same die but a later stage. The interior details are gone. It would be nice to find one in an earlier die stage than this one, for now thoigh this one works.
Thanks everyone for the comments.

coinmasters,

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression regarding the Wrinkles!that is not noted as a marker on Kennedy DD's, it has been my observation that every Kennedy DDO I have seen has had the wrinkles but not necessarily considered a marker but it's been rather a starting point for me.I am not sure which Die yours is because I did research it ans couldn't find any reference and without a coin in hand to match the markers was not an accurate search anyways.if not a new DDO then it would raise a question of whether it is a DDO or WHO?

It could be very well a new unlisted DDO.

I think it would be the CONECA listed MDO-001. I see quite a few 69D's with doubling just like yours when I go through 40% bags of Kennedy's.

Thanks everyone. Chase I posted the pic of the solo IN because it shows the only marker on the coin. North/south die scratches at the I.

I just revisited that link, it's MDO-001. There's notching at I of Liberty and W of WE and separation lines in T of Trust and whats in the pics. I guess it's a nice coin, but wouldn't want to keep the later die states. Thanks for the help.
