This is the first one I've found with a broken letter. It also looks like it has a class 6 reverse. Is the broken R a rare or common occurence for that era. All thoughts, opinions, and comments welcome.

It looks like the R was from a filled die or crushed, post mint?

The big ones for 1936 were hubbed using the same broken hub then got the second hubbing with a different one without the broken R.
I'll try to post an unc broken R non DDO like this

It does look like there is a DDR on that coin.

Yes it does, the lower horizontal sections of the E and U and the dot look like a class 6. Very many class 6s exist in 1936.

The broken R hub is a somewhat common sight, and makes for a marker on die varieties - nothing more than that, really.
As to whether this coin is a doubled die - yes. But there are so many of them for that year it would take a coin in far better shape to ascertain which die it could be - or to assign it a new die number if it in fact is one. That's part of the problem with these different years where a large number of die varieties are known. Circ coins don't help much.
