Not a DDR, just Machine Doubling. Keep hunting!

I agree with the others, MD.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

The second coin you posted is showing what is sometimes called a "circulation cameo" - basically a nicely toned, circulated coin that has aged in an attractive way to give it richly patinated fields and less patinated devices due to wear. Not usually worth a premium on its own, but a nice circulation cameo on an already valuable coin can bump something up a price point compared to a less attractive example in the same grade.

The die was normal, the post strike machine movement altered the fresh struck devices. We see this a lot on the larger coins. Just the dreaded Machine Doubling.
