definitely a doubled die. It looks like FS#1c-034.5 using the older cherypickers guide numbers.

Mint state red...probably a 63.
And the price guide values on my site are old. That's probably around a $50 coin now. An MS65 would run more like $90.

With a scale or if you don't have a scale balance two known later date zinc coins (such as 1983 or later) at each end of a pop sickle stick or anything similar, then remove one of them and replace with your coin. If it still balances it's a zinc, but if it drops it's copper. Copper will be heavier.
