Not a DDO. It is Machine Doubling.Keep searching, you are getting close.

Only MD on top of the date.

It's hard to tell from the images but I'm pretty sure it is MD on the left side of the BE (LIBERTY) as well.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

It definitely has MD and the obverse is made from an older, well-worn die so it has Die Deterioration as well. That is what you are seeing on the left side of the letters of LIBERTY. I'm not seeing any hub doubling at all.

Die Deterioration can affect the coin by making the devices appear wider or thicker to an inexperienced collector.

When you look at the tops of the devices, you can see the striation lines on the areas where you are looking. (striation lines happen when metal to metal rub happens on the coin from the die)

A sure sign of Machine Doubling. Thus reduces the normal devices with this damage line on the devices.
