He knew it was a VAM 12 and I have never disputed his pricing or asked for his "Best Price".

 

He's an old time dealer and a good guy.

It's hard to see the doubling in her eye and the doubling of "LIBERTY", but I don't see any indication of the clashed "s" & "t" of Trust. I do see two faint clashes; one is on the obverse below the drawstring of the cap and was caused by the lefthand wreath; the other is on the reverse between the eagle's wing and the wreath on the right and was caused by the vee-shape in the cap at the point of the drawstring. Both of these are very faiint and are indicative of a late die stage.

There is also a spike coming out of her throat but with the scan it makes it hard to see.

The doubling is light and again the scanner dosn't pick it as well as I would like. In hand they are more pronounced.Particularly the Rev clash between the wing and wreath.

Editted to add ,There is doubling between the lips and under the lower lip.
