1968 DDO Question---Caution Large Photos

So I was looking at my collection and I picked up on the 68P in my Roosevelt dansco album. Something about it looks like it might be a DDO. There is a known 68DDO variety in the Roosevelt series. Is this one? It kinda looks like strike doubling but then again, it looks like a DDO too, especially since it is in the right places(motto, date, initials). I posted the best photos I could take, but these are small coins and the details get fuzzy. I tried different angles to capture the details and marked the areas I have questions about. All opinions welcome. Sorry about the huge photos.

I would say, no DDO.

The picture quality isn't enough to be certain but it does not
appear to have the charactristics of the DDO. This isn't a hard
one to spot or to find though. It appears in about 2.5% of
the '68 mint sets and is easiest to see on the date. It is es-
pecially easy to see on the "6" of the date from an angle at
about 2 O'clock.
