I am still new to coin collecting and coin roll searching. Here is one I recently found. Aside from the DDR, does anyone see anything else?

Not a DDR that's machine doubling.
What is the difference?
Sorry, but it isn't a doubled die, only mechanical doubling which adds no value
Spend time on the the following site to learn about hub doubling. Read the tabs in doubleddie marked Worthless Doubling and Doubled dies to learn the characteristics. Also look at the section on how dies are made.
Www.doubleddie.com
Www.varietyvista.com
Edit to add
Everything else looks like normal circulation wear and tear. No errors

Thank you, I will keep researching. It really is fun and exciting but there is so much to learn.
Welcome to the forum!
This is a great place to learn and get help..... stick around.
Doubled dies on silver Kennedy halves are easy to find, but I'm sorry to say yours is not one. Keep looking, they're out there!
On true doubled dies, the raised elements of the coin where doubled are usually the same height, not the shelf like drop off of machine doubling.
@JWoody1979... Welcome aboard.... As stated above, machine doubling, not a DDR. Cheers, RickO
Sorry, not a doubled die. I agree with the advice you’ve been given above. eBay is loaded with people offering “doubled dies” like this but they are nothing more than strike doubling aka machine doubling. Glad you’re interested in learning and doing the responsible thing 👍👍👍 and by the way, welcome!!😎
Anytime you decide to research a series or a certain coin and need resources, name it here and there is a very good chance a free online service will be available. Just ask. Also, if not available free, you will be informed as to the best source and you decide whether the coin/series is worth spending funds on for education to learn before investing money. Good luck.
Yes, this is machine doubling and average wear and tear to a circulating coin.
