1909 unknown DDR on ebay
Here's a 1909 DDR, of which die I cannot identify based on the photos. The extra thickness is tough to pick up in photos but if you look at the tips of the wheats you can see the angles of the light is slightly off and reflects the doubling. Additionally, minor extra thickness is present on the wheat stems and EPL.

COuld be wrong tho as you are much better at these than I am!!!

I can't really make out any extra thickness other than what I mentioned above. The die chip is a common factor in multiple different dies and is not a reliable marker. Though the coin does look essentially normal to most, there are extremely subtle differences between this coin and a non-DDR.
Here is a non-DDR from the same seller. The most easily discernable difference is the thickness of the wheat stems. However, even that is still minor.
