Probably some, but here's what die deterioration really looks like:
NICE COIN! Looks real to me, the fakes of these are usually pretty bad. I think 64RD. CONGRATS!
It's not "double stamped", it's a "doubed die obverse". VERY nice example! MS-64RD with a shot at 65. I'd send it to PCGS.

NICE! I've been seriously thinking about this problem as well. For me the trick is finding a good camera with video macro ability. I've weighed...
When does the contest start?
Red wood....my favorite kind!
