Hey! Found this coin recently and was hoping to get your opinions - do you think it's a DDO? Thanks in advance!

I don't see the DDO. What I do see is md and circulation damage by flattening. The others might say different.

Numismatiac,
Did you look for a match on all three sites we all use?

Looks normal to me. The term is "doubled die," not "double."

How do I know this is just die wear and not a DDO? Not The '1' on each image. Note they are both the same size. As you get to the last digit, note they look wider? That is because of die wear. Not a doubled die. All dies wear in the pattern. On the outside edges eith the devices or the fields are affected by die wear.
When looking at the three sites, there is only one die that is listed on one site. It is not on the date area, but part of Liberty that is affected. So it is a dead year for DDO's on that date/mint.
(Also re checking on this one, what we are seeing is Machine Doubling)
