What do you think? The coin is a VF35 and has a ton of luster remaining. Is that common for this issue because of the design?
Edited to add if it is will PCGS slab it as such?

My guess and based on the diagonal die lines in the date, and what appears to be the radial die crack from the dentils to star 12 I'd say that is WB-2 though I could be wrong. Nice looking coin!
Beautiful A&R!
Not an expert on this issue, but it looks like machine doubling to me.... Cheers, RickO
These are closeups of the areas you mentioned. I could take more if that would help.
Excellent photos. It does appear to be WB-2. Here is a page out of Bill Bugert's die variety register that covers this issue titled
A Register of Liberty Seated Half Dollar Varieties

Awesome thanks a lot. Thanks for the link as well.
I sent this coin for attribution and it is confirmed as a WB-2.
