That's an extreme example of strike doubling, aka machine or mechanical doubling. This is very common on the obverses of Mercury Dimes. For that coin type the obverse die was in the lower, or "anvil" position, and it led to frequent shearing action during the striking of the coin and withdrawal of the dies afterward.

But it has its own corners in some parts are you positive it is not a double die?

I have looked everywhere for another 1924 DDO and can't seem to find any pictures, is my dime a true DDO or machine doubling?

I just pulled this out of a lot I bought on ebay, seller must not have had a microscope!! It is a double die right?
