There's quite a lot of glare on the close ups, but I don't think it is DDO-001. Take a look at the strong notching and doubling on TRUST on DDO-001:

I don't see this on your coin. Taking a look at your obverse photo there is less glare, and I can see TRUST clearer. I don't see any notching or separation lines pointing to DDO-001. It's a no from me. Keep hunting!

Not a DDO. A normal half dollar I'm sorry to say.

Looking to close doesn't help.

Thank You All! I'm still learning and the Kennedy's do confuse me sometimes. The notching on a lot of the letters had me wondering. I do need to remember coop's advice on not looking too close up, I think that makes me see things that are not really there. Thanks!

It looks like reflection and glare doubling to me, not a DDO.

I'm not convinced. I'm seeing notches all over these letters and numbers. So you guys are saying these notches are just reflections and glare?

@HumblePie- The grade doesn't look that bad. Use some acetone on those carbon spots on the obv. I would consider submitting it.

USSID18...If you enlarge the full obverse photo in the OP's post you will see there is no actual notching on the elements you just pointed out.
