Hey Everyone,
I found this coin recently and was wondering if anyone could help me determine if it's a DDO, and if so, whether it's unlisted. The area that jumped out to me is what appears to be doubling on the W of "we" on the obverse. It doesn't look flat so I don't think it's Machine Doubling.

I checked Variety Vista and coppercoins.com and I can't seem to match it up with any listings. It looks the most like DDO-002 to me on variety vista but this coin does not have RPM-005 so it doesn't look like it's from the same die.

Is this a DDO or is something else causing the W to looked doubled?

Thanks!

Here's one more image of the W zoomed in just a little more.

That is "Master Die Doubling". Here is a link to a nice reference of all the dates with master die doubling, by Bob Piazza.
