Send it to a third party grading company to get it certified.

It does not resemble the rare and valuable DDR to me, but if you are convinced otherwise, getting it certified is the only answer for you.

It is difficult to see the details in your photos.

You can use one of the top four companies.
They are PCGS, ANACS, ICG, & NGC.
These companies all have websites that show the grading process and list the associated fees.

If it is that one here is what to compare it with:
1982-Small-Date-Zinc-DDR
If it doesn't have this exact doubling, it is not that die. Closer images will show us more. No use in sending in a common cent to ge graded. Get images this close and we can help you before you send it in.
Rest in Peace

Well, Coop got up earlier than I to post the one one only listed DDR pix...

On OP's pic, two items of interest even through out of focus.

1) right upright of ONE, isn't doubled, that would be seen

2) first you in UNUM, OP's left side has a hit, giving "effect", doubling shifts right on all letters on center devices.

You really want to spend $20 just to be told by TPG it ain't what you're sure it is? Like the comments said above, better pix for us to check OR take it to someone local who will verify. It really isn't a doubled die coin, took PMD hits and has possible Die Deterioration causing letters to"expand".

There is doubling on your coin, but it's not from the image being doubled on the die.
Doubling like this is caused during the strike, is common, and doesn't add any value to the coin.

I Just trimmed out what I didn't want, then Scaled up the rest. Photo processing software usually has a "Scale" tool...I use Gimp 2 for photo processing, which allow you to scale images up or down.

Do an internet search fro Gimp 2. It is freeware.

BTW... To the CCF.

Steady hand,clean lense,single light source and a loupe should be all you need and practice. I also use the 'ollo clip' app free version I love it and has a macro setting
