Any opinions would be great. Not sure. - 63' D - DDO on 3 ? 0

Heavily worn example under magnification. Two photos of date from the coin and another photo of a regular 63 d for comparison. 

Not an expert but trying to learn. Greatly appreciate any replies. Thank you very much.

Probably from a worn die. The more a die wears, the thicker the letters get.

I agree. But is it a heavily worn DD from a  63' D cent ? There is a perfect MS example of the doubling below, just for reference.

Thank you

Do you have any photos of the full coin obv and rev?  I have not checked to see but if there are any other pups for this DDO it would help to id if you have one or not.  I do think its very possible you may be correct.

Yes, I had some time to find out about the 1968 d's this evening. Here is a link. 

Do you think it's one of these in the link?  Thank you

I know where VV is, but I have no way to match your coin to anything without full photos of your coin.

Cool.  Sure thing.  Its in a holder (my thumbnail is torn,  it's difficult to open ). Thanks!

The worn condition of your coin makes finding any of the pups from a photo near impossible, I think only an in hand exam with a loop would be useful as the other pups are quite minor.  I think you may have a late die state version but given the overall condition of the coin I don't know if it would be worth the costs to get verified.
