Ok yes that is what I was thinking. Some of the letters on your coin (e.g. NTIED of UNITED) have damage most likely from a coin rolling machine. To see if yours is the
DDR, it is best to compare images. When I crop, enlarge, and enhance yours, the image becomes a bit too pixelated to be positive, but I'm pretty sure not. In the side-by-side comparison below you can see the clearly split serif on the S of the varietyvista image (on the right) and also see that yours (on the left) probably doesn't have that same doubling.

Added: one more thing that I forgot to mention--your new pics are much improved over the original ones. Nicely done!
