When I checked the URL link to make sure it was working I looked at the picture again and could almost think the D/D is over an S.
It appears there may be an upper serif of an S in the upper opening of the D. Also, the mint mark below the primary D appears much more rounded than any of the D mint mark pictures I have seen for 1954D lincolns.

Rollmeupbabe: Looks interesting. But in order to identify it we need an image showing the legs of the numbers in the date. If you could show us the digits of the date it would be a great help. It maybe a listed one or a new one. Depends on the location of the mintmark. That is the determining factor. The mintmark for the South on the # 2 is lower, and # 3 is a double split serif with no lower mark.

Looks like something going on your coin. I don't see an image of # 2 on the site, but I have one in my collection. Will try to get an image worked up soon.

Rollmeupbabe: Looks like 1954D-1MM-002 from your image. I did an overlay of the image I have and it looks like a match.

Your coin is an earlier die state than mine. The RPM is stronger on your coin. On mine you can only see it at the right angle with the right amount of light. Nice find. I still have the problem on my computer with loading bitmap only images. So I figured out how to get around it. I take an image off my monitor with my camera and compare it to the image I took before and overlayed it. Where there is a will.........
