I do not see DDR here. I see an re-polish Die. Where it is the MM also I think it is from polishing Die. The MM more close pic is what could be interesting.

The following takes you to a page on the forum showing you how to determine when you have an actual doubled die.

Immediate Answers - How to find your Doubled Die or RPM online

Your coin must match up to the smallest details in those pictures b/c every coin struck from a set of doubled dies has to be absolutely identical to all the others struck from that die. If you do not find an exact match then you have something such as die deterioration doubling, machine/strike doubling, post mint damage, etc. All of those terms can be looked up at error-ref.com
