Thomas, may I speak my mind?

There are enough resources which are easily available, that you should be able to find pictures of a 1917 DDO Lincoln. While the date on your coin is worn, I believe that there is enough left of the motto to be able to tell if it matches the doubling in the pictures.

Regarding your attempt to sell this coin on Ebay: Far be it from me to stand in the way of someone trying to make a living, provided it is an HONEST living. But when I see someone trying to pass off a coin as something that it very well may not be, I compare that to the used car salesman who rolls back the miles on an odometer or puts sawdust in the transmission to quiet the noise. I know - caveat emptor, and all that, but wrong is wrong, plain and simple. If you succeed in selling that coin as a DDO to someone, and it really is not one, you are giving this hobby a bad name, and you should be ashamed.

 

OK, now everyone who thinks that I am being too harsh can flame away.

 

Here - I will even provide a picture for you, so you don't even have to try to find one yourself:
