I believe it to be MD and DDD. Not a DDO. Just my opinion.

More of a circulation/vending machine/coin counters issue damaging the devices on the outside edge of the coin. Damage doesn't raise the value to a coin. A doubled die is seen as hub doubling when the die is created. Thus making the devices doubled and you can see a spread in the hub process that some years was multiple times and today on the single squeeze dies as only once.

Older Multi-squeezed dies, doubled dies:

Note the doubled images on the motto? Can see the spread between the hub process between another hub step? Also note circulation wear didn't remove it.

Note on this one, the spread is not as much seen but the enlarging of the devices are all consistant, but on the devices you can see notching. A sure sign for a doubled die is the doubling by spread and notching on the corners.

Same on this one. Spread, notching and note even the date is affected. Note how all the motto is affected, not just the devices on the outside edge of the coin.
1987-D-Washington-Quarter..possible-Doubled-Die-Obverse?
Note on this one the affected doubling is seen more on the '0' on the date area. There is still some spread on the motto. But why is this not like the other examples. Because hub doubling can affect different areas of the die differently. But examples from the same die will have all the same doubling on each die. Doubling on the 1972 cents dies 1-8 is a good case study. Each of these dies are different.

Sometimes so much that you have to look at each device to see if it is for sure that die.
So on your coin, I'm not seeing any of the hub doubled events happening on you coin. More of a damage device issue. We are here to educate, so I try in my posts to show what I see on your coin. I want you to see what I see, and what it tells me.

I know this post was a little while ago however I may have a matching quarter 1987 d with doubling on the motto I noticed it because it seemed to have an indentation along the face from the nose to the forehead and then I line coming off the forehead through the e. Your coin looks very similar, possibly a die crack coming off of the forehead? I asked a on another forum how many machine doubled coins does it take to prove it's a variety maybe I'll repost my question here
I will post pics soon as I can

Sounds just like the common Machine Doubling issue on your coin. These are not doubled dies as the machine alters the devices. On a doubled die, the doubling is on the die that enlarges the devices. This Machine Doubling can also happen on doubled dies.
