1898 O Morgan VAM question, doubled stars?

Just going through some coins that came in a while back that I haven't had time to look over.

I've always had trouble calling when stars are doubled and when they aren't. I would appreciate a little help.

To me it appears that the left stars starting at the top are doubled towards the profile and decrease in doubling as they go down towards star one on the left.

Pictured below are the stars starting at the seventh star on the left down to the third. IMO the doubling almost ceases on the 1st and 2nd stars.

I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    Your closeups are great but too close. A pic of the full star would be better as the doubling would
    show on multiple points all the way around. At least that's my experience. From what I do see I'd
    guess that you do have doubled stars.
