I'm not sure if this is a double O. It looks like dirt but it's raised and imbedded in the copper.

That is a water spot or a stain. If it were a zero, then it would be raised. It is on the field and not raised.

@Bailey500, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes that is a stain on the surface of the coin. The fact that it is slightly raised likely means that whatever liquid it was evaporated and left behind some salt or other material which is now stuck to the coin.
