This is why Wexlers' and CONECA are so important, they have the die marks to look for when the possible doubled areas are confusing. Also the class of doubled die they are also helps determine if this is possible doubled die. Looks like it's from circulation for me.

As a coin wears are the die markers still as noticeable or do they get harder to see with time?

"Die Markers" are small imperfections on the die that transfer to the coin during the strike.
Depending on where those markers are, if they are in a 'high rub' area, they will show wear.
Commonly, most of these die markers will be in the field, so there 'wear' should be minimal.
