Thank you, But you just made it worse hehehe.

With my coin TED is doubled does that make things differ ?

 

Not sure but from your pics the stars are doubled the R on the obverse is doubled with the odd feature & it appears that the wheat leaf has the correct doubling.
Check out this pic to compare.


The VAM 114 obverse has a fairly unique characteristic that can be used to identify any reasonably well preserved example. The right edge of the long wheat leaf that folds back onto the cap is doubled fairly strongly on the portion on the cap , but this doubling abruptly appears to stop as the leaf projects above Liberty's cap. Nothing else quite like this is found among the Rev of 78 die marriages.

 

That doubling does not see to be on my coin,

I´ll have to buy a new Microscope............

 

Well going off pics is difficut due to the magnification & clarity needed . I could be wrong but like I said Im pretty sure the stars & R have the right attributes .

 

Thanks buddy,

Your helping me on my way to understand this a little better and i´m greatful
