I have this 2025 D nickel that sure does look like a possible new DDO. I've turned it "every which way" to make sure it wasn't glare doubling and used natural light for all photos. Thank you for your opinion.
Keep looking. It's not split seriffs - it is the bottom sides of the details wearing out leaving a ridge in the center of the incuse parts of the dies. You see the lines in the middle of the letters and the numbers on that nickel.
I appreciate the comments.. I'll put the nickel in a 2X2 and will look at it again in a couple of months. I guess split serifs are only split serifs when they are not DDD
