Is this the 1961 Proof Quarter DDO?

My eyes say yes, but I'm down to only one now, and I may be wrong, What say you?
If so is there any demand and should it be graded?
thanks,
bob :)

    Since proof coins are struck multiple times, it's possible for the die to shift slightly between strikes and you would get the same effect as machine doubling. This appears to be what happened on your coin.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Thank you sir, knew that was a possibility but just couldn't see it.
