    Hard to tell from photo but, I don't think so.
    It is a slightly misaligned die strike. Not much added value. Still pretty cool

    Hi Khalil, Welcome to Coin Talk, I also do not see any signs of DD on your coin.
    Nice photo for a scan. As far as camaras go, get one with a higher megapixels
    and the Macro Setting will work better for cropping and enlarging Photos.
    I use a Sony with 8.1 megapixel and it seems to be quite sufficent.

    There are lots of books I'm sure. The "Whitman Red Book" is a good one to start with if you don't already have a copy. Here are some websites that have some good info. I save these to my favorite when ever I come across one in a thread. If you read through some older threads that pertain to you interests I'm sure you will find some also.http://www.lincolncentresource.com/index.html
