Does anyone know if a 1963 D/D Washington Quarter exists????

I purchased a Raw 1963-D Washington in MS64 condition and while looking it over with an 18X loop it appears to be a D over D. You can see the second D from every angle except when looking at the bottom of the top mintmark. I would say it is just slightly north east of the top mintmark, but with out a microscope I can't be 100% certain as my eyes have played tricks on me in the past. Does anyone know if this variety exists????

    Without checking all the possible references (CPG, Wexler and Flynn, Fiegenbaum, etc) I cannot say, however, IN MOST CASES, the "gurus" say if it takes 18x to see it, it is nothing major (in other words, and this has been my experience only, such minor details don't seem to be worthy of their time.) Now a MPD or blundered die may be looked at differently, and some COLLECTORS may have an interest, but every time I submit a question of that sort to an attribution specialist, it gets a very lukewarm reception.
