I hate to be the bearer of bad news so I'll just leave it at you don't want to loose any sleep over this one.
Actually, interestingly enough, those A's looks like a split serif... er, even though it's the point of the A which I suppose is not the serif. In any event, it's looking rather split - I see two points. This is looking darned close to 1968-D DDR-001 to me... http://varietyvista.com/09b WQ Vol 2/DDR Detail Pages/1968DDDR001.htm Nice find!
Until the A was pointed out, I was a straight, NO, on it, but that A does give me pause. The rest of the doubling appears to be machine doubling, to me.
