No everything else looks normal. The best way to tell on the new single squeeze doubled dies are the the devices remind you of an over inflate tube:

I know it is not the same year, but note the centers of the closed devices. These are what you need to look at first doubled a doubled die. When you start looking at the outer edges of the devices, your looking where Machine Doubling happens.

Again look at the centers of the closed devices. Look there first.

Thank you appreciate the info this might be a noob question but to be honest I am a noobie when you say devices do you mean letters or numbers and is it the look of number/letter having a tunneled look and how is it so different then let's say 1955 DDO.

"Devices" mean the design like the letters, numbers, etc.

Yes. The devices are numbers and letters. the bust or building can also be referred to as design as some of the reverse are not buildings. 50 States/ATB quarters)
They are normal sized. If there was a DDO there, you could look at the centers of the 'B & R' and see if they are distorted there:

I know these are not the same year as your coin. But I'm trying to get you eyes used to looking at the centers of the devices and not the edges of the devices. ( Machine Doubling on the edges of devices from die movement from a normal size device, then damaged after the strike) Hope this helps. Note the distortion/spread of the devices. Your coins are from a normal die with MD or Die Deterioration. No premium for your coins. Spendable.
