There's a DD but that's not it. Not sure if any MMs are special but we don't see the reverse on yours.
P.S. - not just worn, but damaged as well.
The date is just worn.... and the coin has suffered mishandling. Cheers, RickO
It would be very special if the date looked like this-
There's also a two feather and a missing designer's initial variety for the date but they are worth just a tiny fraction of the doubled die.
I thought I saw a hint of doubling but did want not to give it away in the OP. Was a cheapie...

The D maybe repunched, or??

There's no mistaking this doubled die. It's naked-eye visible to someone who has normal visual acuity.
Another obverse picture:
Well, just Love coins, period.
You'd also see strong doubling on the feathers, neck, braid details, chin, and ribbon ties on the doubled die.
OK, not my area. Expertise much appreciated!

is that a bullet hole above the eye?
Yea, I kind of liked the "rustic" aspect of this one...
