I spent about an hour comparing it to my 1983 P DDR looking for enough similarities to convince myself that I found another DDR. But, its just not the case. I wrote off all the doubling as MD pretty quickly, except for the C in CENT.
I took another look at it this morning and decided to put it in the reject pile.

NOTICE THE DOUBLING ON THE WEST END OF THE MEMORIAL BUILDING
THE DOUBLING LOOKS MUCH FLATTER IN THIS PIC THAN TO THE NAKED EYE
It is definitely Machine Doubling - doesn't resemble either of the known doubled dies at all. No notching anywhere. Doubling is not "flat", but has all the characteristics of the details being flattened by details on the die...classic.

Thank you for the experienced input. Its invaluable to an anxious learner.
