I attributed a 1964 DDR-004 last night and remembered this coin. Also pretty similar although I think the bottom of the C in AMERICA is wrong. Worth a quick bit of tilting the coin around while looking at the last bay in the memorial for the vertical die scratches. Your coin is early enough die stage that they would be there. I find the photos on VV of this one to not be super clear as to what is going on but those die scratches will match perfectly if you've got it.

After inspecting closer, it is a ddr-002 in an unlisted die state, as is doesn't have the listed die markers, but the doubling is the same in all places.

This is a proof coin from a proof set I purchased for 20 dollars. The half dollar and quarter were minor doubled dies. There might be sms cents in the wild haha.

@SilverStackerKid, What did you use for the closeup photos? They are fantastic!
What a great coin. You sure hit the jackpot with that proof set!

I use a simple microscope and a digital camera pointed through the scope. Getting the lighting right can be so difficult sometimes haha but they come out well when I put time into it. I appreciate the comment.

Nice find. Did it jump out at you like I said? When you find a nice DDR, then you realized how hard you looked at so many coins that weren't doubled dies. They do jump out at you. |

I have searched uncountable cents and this is the first legit DDR I have found. It is super amazing seeing the doubling like this. It does jump out at you and bring a little smile haha. |

Congratulations on an excellent find.
Really nice doubling on that one.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
