We're going to need much better pictures to help you. So far, I am not seeing a DDO. Errers and Varietys.

Is it possible to garner a closeup of the date area as to confirm the DDO? Sweet find if you did find one, as I am still seeking one myself  |

Is it worth to have it graded?

No this is a well circulated cent, not worth the cost of grading. also not seeing any DDO on it. |

Here's an example of a worn 1917 penny and a worn DDO 1917 penny. The DDO is extreme enough that even in low grades the splits on the ends of the double 9s can often be readily identified.   |

Curious One, Why three of the same pics? What attribution number did you think it was after checking all three reference sites? John1  |

Also, if your interested in taking better quality pictures. Check out the coin photography forum here. Your lighting need filtered so, you don't get that grainy look to them.

@cent, thank you for adding an example of a well worn 1917 DDO. Here is the varietyvista link for this DDO, but with a much less worn example: http://www.varietyvista.com/01a%20L...7PDDO001.htmI'm not seeing that same splitting on the number 9 for your coin though. It is flat from circulation to be sure, but doesn't look split to me. By the way, that last photo of your coin showing a close-up view of the date was really nice.

Curious, I see thickness in the right places for a DDO-001, but also lots of circulation flattening. Well-circulated examples often are missing the split on the 9 in the date, so that's not a deal breaker. But no way to say yes or no based on your photos. A top-notch image of WE TRUST may solve it, but sometime circulation damage is just too much to verify these for certain.
