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?

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
