Hello all, curious to learn whether I've properly identified the features of this coin as the 1983 DDR-003. Thanks!

It is not the WDDR-003. you seem to have an tilded die which produce MD. Yes look in some parts similar but it is not. Sorry.

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.

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!
