I see some doubling on the arrow shafts but only towards the points (upper arrows show the most) but it seems worn so it's hard to tell.

I'm not seeing any of the other markers aside from that. VAM-3 and VAM-4 because of the date doubling but again, not picking up the markers specific to that. VAM-4 has similar polishing lines between the eagle's neck and left wing, but that's about it for that one that I am seeing. VAM-7 picks up again with the date doubling but there is absolutely no indication of die cracks anywhere on this coin. And VAM-10 because of the "slightly doubled 1" but there is no trace of lines on the neck. Sorry for the long-winded reply, but you asked for it![/QUOTE]
