Not sure if this is a DDO. The only 73S DDO with the doubling of the 3 is on Doubleddie.com and it's not quite the same. The 7 also looks to have notching at top right and maybe lower left?
Thank you for looking and comments.

Extra picture with different lighting.

That is how they look. Nothing different. The strike was stronger that year. contact mark on the '3' on the date. The top of the 'E' on Liberty looks strange that year:

The Spock Ears are also noticed that year:

Also the reverse had an issue on the Memorial that year:

Just occurred to me, maybe the extra strong strike may have cause these reverse to be altered like this? It was not continued to 1974.

Just die scratches. Die scratches in the open fields go away from the moving metal during the strike. Die scratches near devices last a lot longer. Die scratches inside a closed device, will last the longest. that is what you are seeing, die scratches near a device.
