I went on Coneca site and there's no images for DDR-001 .

I also went on Wexler site and did find a DDR, but it's not the same .

In Wexler, only " United " is doubled . Here's the 2 images from Wexler site .

The one on Coneca Site states:

Strong spread on QUARTER DOLLAR, with light spread on UNITED and AMERICA .

    Looks like machine doubling to me. On the 'U' in 'UNITED', the 'doubling' goes around the inside upper right corner. This should be notched, IMO.

    I know these Proof were struck as many as 3 times, for each coin ...

    Keep in mind, it's not the same DDR as wexler and I'll take a closeup of the " U " in UNITED .

    Flat shelf doubling is what it looks like.

    I also think machine doubling. It was extremely common on proofs of that time period.

    Sorry-machine doubling. The real deal-PR 1-R-V-has very evident doubling on "QUARTER DOLLAR." I used to have one.
