    61 had a DD, on the reverse of the half, I believe.

    Also, the nickels often come in nice blue or gray colors.

    Never got a gold coin from a proof set, but I did get a 1 gram gold bar from a Mint Set several years ago.

    The only major one to look for would be the 1961 DDR Half.

    He asked for "unique".

    I assume the 1 gram gold bar wasn't actually sealed in the mint set.

    Both the 62 and 63 cent have multiple DDR's Look for the Doubling on the initials.
