I think it's a normal 1924-P with some damage or a die gouge. It's definitely not a D mintmark from what I can see...sorry.
Looks like heavy wear in my opinion.
True, but the question was "why are the letters thinner?" Doubled dies do not make letters thinner, they make the devices thicker. The thinning...

My cousin just gave me this... :) [ATTACH]
It's damage from a coin roller machine.
That reminds me, whatever happened to the 1940 "doubled nostril" you sent to PCGS? What did they slab it as? Regardless, this has nothing to do...
Here is a photo of the 1995 DDO. Red arrows point to separation lines, black arrows point to "notching". Notice the doubling is fully raised...not...
