That is some NASTY strike doubling, but there IS NO doubled die 1963 proof quarter in the literature. That is how this works. A doubled die would have been discovered in 61 years. “Discovery coins” almost never are real. BTW, the corrosion on that coin is also nasty.

    I agree that based on the photos the doubling on this coin is flat, shelf-like strike doubling. Wexler and Variety Vista both list several minor DDOs for proof 1963 quarters, but none is a match for this one. See https://www.doubleddie.com/1370540.html, http://www.varietyvista.com/09b WQ Vol 2/DDOs 1963.htm.

But NGC recognizes none of them. And to me, Wexler is NOT a reliable source. I realize that many disagree, but I have decided for myself.

All the photos show the same thing, common worthless strike doubling.   If you like it keep it, but it's not valuable and not worth sending to NGC.

Common machine doubling.   
Also do NOT use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see detail clearly.
