Richards Roosevelt page has a DDR picture where the "RIB" in "PLURIBUS" matches this coin exactly.see here:
http://www.richardsrooseveltreview.net/1960.htm
scroll about 3/4 of the way down to see the picture.its copyrighted so I cant copy it here.
this is a 1970-P Roosevelt.There is only 1 1970 Roosevelt DDR known and thats a proof coin,not a business strike.If this is a DDR then it could be a discovery coin.

Well, a couple of things...

1. The image of your coin does not match up to what's on that site primarily because the coin shown is a class 2 (distorted) doubled die, and your coin - if it is a doubled die - would be a class 4 (offset) doubled die. The cause of the doubling is fundamentally different, although both are doubled dies.

2. Die Deterioration CAN cause an anomaly on the sides of the devices much like what you show, especially on nickels and clad coinage. Although your images are good, it would require closer examination to be sure which yours is. This particular case and ones like it are especially difficult to detect the difference without the actual coin in hand.

3. BECAUSE your coin was struck with very worn dies, I would have to lean in the direction of Die Deterioration if I had to bet on it based on the images alone, but I would still want to examine the coin before making any determination if my life depended on it. With a hands-on examination I could tell 100% one way or the other in a few seconds.
