1885-O VAM help Doubled Moto?

ddbird

Just looking at some coins, I noticed the moto "In God We Trust" is slighlty doubled. Especially in the WE and RUS. Theres nothing else notciable about the coin cept for some die polish marks in the bow of the wreath. I checked updated sites, but cannot find anything about doubling of the moto. Anyone have any idea..I can try and put a pic but its gonna be extremly hard to see from photos. Thanks!
Edited to add:: The "BUS" in Pluribus is also doubled.

Very obvious on the S in the picture, but the most obvious are the W and E. Hard to tell from the pics though, but on the right inside of both loops of the W, you can see doubling, also along bottoms.


The only other thing I noticed was heavy die polishing marks inside the ribbon on the wreath....other than that, the coin appears normal

There is no mention of doubling that I can find in the VAM Encyclopedia or the text updates at the Ashmore update website. There are no 1885-O's in the SSDC Top-100 or Hot-50 listings as well.

Most VAMs for this year/mint focus on date positioning/doubling, ear doubling, and mint mark placement.

Without photos or other information on the above mentioned areas, it is not likely anyone can help with your coin.

Hard to tell from the photos.

Check and see if there is a vertical bar on the left inside of the O mintmark (as you face it) and possibly a faint slight arc on the right outside of the O. If there is, then this may be a VAM-12 O/O variety.

Other than that its pretty much about date and ear doubling to figure a VAM. Also check and see if there is a short dash mark under the second 8 in the date. Let me know what you come up with.

nothings wrong with the date or mm...but I just looked and noticed that "BUS" in Pluribus is slighlty doubled also.
