Definitely not Machine Doubling. The op has the real deal. Die markers (die polishing lines) are there. Jpsi, don't toss it back.

Congrats on finding WDDR-003.

This is a great learning post as to why it's a good idea to include a link to the variety.
Everybody can be on the same page, it makes reference easy for everyone, and the OP might find a necessary edit. (Adding a link has helped me many times to find edits.)
https://www.doubleddie.com/828823.html

Variety Vista (the " DDR" part of the OPs ID) doesn't have a DDR-003 listed. Wexlers doubleddie.com does have a WDDR-003 as noted by Silviosi.

This does appear to be WDDR-003 based on the images of the die scratches below UNITED and other places as pointed out by E&V and the OP.



Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

There will be a 1983 WDDR-004 whenever I get out of my Christmas busies and photograph the thing. It's quite nice and I will post it when I get to it. Maybe that should be a goal for today!
