What do you think of this modern proof dime I snagged earlier today?

Before you even say it, I don't expect this coin to be a doubled or tripled anything - proofs of that era are very prone to strike doubling, which is undoubtedly what the seller saw. I bought it because it looks like a moose of a deep cameo obverse, and from the few glimpses of the reverse shown I think it could match. What do you think the chances are of it being that nice in person?

    That does look very DCAM. Nice one.

    most likely strike doubling as you said.

    Could go DCAM but proof photos can be very deceiving. Nice pickup if it is for an album.
