On the backside bottom on the word dollar, the D looks doubled up and the O right next to it looks like a Q. What do you think? Get the pro's in on this....thanks

Can't really tell form your pics.
Remember, "doubling" does not mean "doubled die". Virtually all doubling is machine doubling, which has no value, .
The Q might be from a hit the coin took - I think I see a small chunk of moved metal. Or, could be a die chip.
Your photos are too fuzzy to say for certain, but it looks like some minor mechanical doubling which is not considered an error/variety. The O may have suffered a hit making it look like a Q.
You can check the following sites to see if there are any DDRs reported for your coin. The Doubled Die site also has a tab called “worthless doubling”, which explains the differences between hub doubling and mechanical doubling

I guess your right. But the O still has that pimple on the bottom.

"But the O still has that pimple on the bottom."
As mentioned the first photo makes it look like it might have taken a hit. (PMD)
The second photo makes it look a little more like a die chip.
My dumb guess would be PMD.
Either way it would not add a premium to the coin.
It appears to me to be a slight die crack coming off th bottom of the twig and thru the O. IMO. Peace Roy
