Certainly looks like one to me. Congrats. Great find for 1 cent.

Have you been able to figure out which one yet?

 

My money is on one of the WDDO-003 stages. Can't pinpoint which, though...

 

The coin is well worn and some damage. I hate to say so, but I think it is most likely a case of die deterioration damage as the obverse has spread until the L in liberty is close to touching the rim and some of the doubling effect doesn't have similar rotation spread. IMO, Jim

 

This is definitely a DDO. The clear separation on GOD is what sold me.

Though it's well-circulated and in a late die stage, markers match the images here at CopperCoins.com for FS103 (1DO-003/DDO-003/WDDO-003)

GOD- NW-SE die scratch through the G of GOD
WE- Two parallel die scratches east of the lower half of the E

Maybe the OP can get better closeups (using the link above) to focus on the other markers.

 

This DDO was seen with a 5x

 

Thanks for the nice closeups.

Congrats again.

ps. Remember to post some images of the markers (if you know the variety) that match the one you think it is. It helps us and you. It's not easy to see or get images of them on circulated examples.

 

I knew it was a DDO. I was on a streak of wheats thats day. Lol
