Looks like you have a nice die clash! But... I'm not seeing a RPM or DD from the pics. One thing is, some of your pics are showing a lot of glare at the mint mark and then the last photo, there's not any glare and the mint mark looks normal. (also by accident your attached image is a 1961D). Where are you seeing the doubled die? -
Remember the old golden rule, if you see doubling in the same direction on the data and the mintmark on the older dates where the mint mark was punched into the dies, it probably won't be a doubled die. It will be MD or deterioration doubling towards the rim or reflection or a combination of those.
As Viv pointed out, all the doubling on the date and mintmark in the first 2 pics seems gone in the later pic with different lighting. That makes me think it's mostly reflection, sometimes die wear makes a ramp then reflection catches that and looks doubled.Comment

It looks like a nice clash... Can you get a clear (as possible) full obv and rev pic??? On the golden rule that Ed mentioned - Remember that the DDOs that occurred on coins in the era of hand punched mint marks (1989 and earlier) were before the mint mark was punched into the working die... That's why if you have possible DDO on the date and MM and it is in the same direction it is most likely MD... Hope that helps a bit!!!Jim
