I'm in the Machine Doubling column. But you're looking in the right spots though.
Always try taking pictures of the full obv & rev of the coin first. Then zoom in on the areas in question and explain exactly what you think you're seeing.
Keep on searching. You'll know when you really got one.
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Strike doubling. Look for split serifs on genuine doubled die coins.
What date is this coin? DDs don't just show up on random coins, although you are apparently still searching for them that way.
If there is a known DD you can compare to pictures of an example. The doubling must match exactly.
99.99% (or more) of the doubling you will find is MD. Narrowing down the search to dates/mm with known DDs will save tons of time.
Strike Doubling, Machine Doubling, Mechanical Doubling...in my opinion.
Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
Ok everyone, I pulled this photo of a 1973 Kennedy off of Coinfacts app. It's a match for the one I posted
Is your coin a 1973?
In any case, you think the word DOLLAR on both photos match?
They do not appear to be a match... not even close. Your coin is machine doubling. Cheers, RickO

I vote for MD.
Agree with @ricko

Kennedys are my quest...
The die was a little loose and had the shimmies.
MD again.

variety vista does not list a DDR on "DOLLAR" for a 1973
http://www.varietyvista.com/12 Kennedy Halves/DDRs 1973.htm
neither does the coinfacts web site:
https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/category/half-dollars/kennedy-half-dollar/type-3-copper-nickel-clad/2642
you are looking at the reverse of a 1973-D coin
the DD in question on that coin is on the obverse not the reverse.
See the lower portion of the "S" in "TRUST"
the reverse has MD.
