The obvious split-serifs certainly point to a Doubled Die.
Have you checked any of the sites for a match?

No matches at NGC, Wexler, or VV, thus why I wanted to come here and make sure.

I'm thinking it's a Doubled Die, since there's splits.

I have my reservations about this being a true double die without seeing it in a none glarry photos, I think it is a MD / DDD at best.

All I see is MDD, look at the top of the G in GOD, or the left side of the U in TRUST in your photos. I can see the MDD on almost everything in your photos.

Thank you @atrox001 for chiming in.

For those who may not know atrox001 he is one of our well informed authorities in Kennedy half dollar varieties and it is great to have him as part of this Forum.

Is it possible for a coin to have MDD & true DD? What would explain the split sarifs?

Here are some pics at a different magnification.

Looks like all three, DD, MD and lite doubling.
