I didn't notice it was doubled/tripled until I photographed it and zoomed in on the mintmark.

    To me it certainly looks very doubled at least, and then maybe a post mint hit smooched it

    Anyone else have any info? I've been looking through VAMs and cannot match it up to any known VAM.

    Double D. VAM-17. Need to see an Obverse photo to see if it's VAM-17B or 17C.
