I was going through some of my coins and found a 1960 Franklin Proof that I had forgotten I had bought some time ago that I was told was DDR, it was cheap so I bought it
Being I'm not 100% sure if this is a FS 50 101, I thought it would be a good idea to ask those help from those who are wiser and have more knowledge then my self. Also would any of you have an idea of what it may be worth?

FYI the photos were taken by the previous owner so hope they are good enough.

Thanks,
Charles

I'm not too sure, but it looks like MD.

Yup looks like a DDO. If its a low grade OR (60-63) then add 40%. If its a higher grade (64-67) add 10-25% value.

To me it looks like Machine Doubling. The devices don't look enlarged, but marked. It would be good to get images of a normal coin and then do a side by side with your images to see if the devices are taller/wider. They look normal sized from the images.
