I don't see anything but some flattening due to wear and circulation. The doubled dies for this year and MM mostly have to do with Abe's eye.
Did you dig it up? Metal detecting?
MM positioning rules out DDO-001. The closest I see is a DDO -010. And that is only the LIB and Mm position. I think that the coin has some...

You have a lamination on the obverse. Can you take a couple photos of the third side? The rim will tell us if it was an eneven strike or if it...
It shouldn't be very hard to explain. Upon first strike makes it a variety. Mechanical issues (in significance) make them errors. Die abrasion in...
A die variety happens at first strike an error happens after the die strikes many coins and sometimes failure happens on first strikes.
