8 TF Morgan, this one has me stumped.

I bought a couple of 8 TF coins today from a local dealer, ANACS slabbed without VAM attribution. I am working on both of these and can not attribute them to save my life. Here is the first one.
I attributed the reverse as A1f. The added feathers on the eagle's right aren't exactly as I see in the various guides, but that is the closest. The left wreath is doubled, NE DO of ONE DOLLAR are doubled strongly, there is a die crack running from the left bow to the top of the E in ONE. Not exactly like ny VAM 16 coins, of which I have a few but I think it is an A1f.
On the obverse, lots of action. All left stars are doubled, tipled or quadrupled. Five of six right stars are doubled. LIBER of LIBERTY is shifted left strongly. Long inner ear fill. Doubled date. Nothing on the eyelid. Doubled nostril, upper and lower lip on Liberty. RIB S doubled top of serifs.
Here are the pictures. Ideas?

That was my initial conclusion as well, this obverse just does not look like my other 16s. Thanks. I am putting the other coin up in a bit.

What's different from your other VAM-16's?

The tripled stars on the left and my other 16s have strong doubling on PLURI and this one is not strong at all.
