Nice coin, I gotta' get one of those!

Look under "unum" at the rays intersecting the stars. They have gaps in them.
I would point out, though, that as a singular diagnostic, this wouldn't be 100% reliable, since the first reverse die was also used with the second obverse die. In other words, there are non-Accented Hair coins that have the same reverse characteristics as the AH.

<< <i>under 10x i cant see any marks it looks as good as my pcgs pr69 cameo >>
You need to check carefully for hairlining. Even under 10X, they may not show up unless you have the coin angled correctly. They are very elusive little buggers!
<< <i>Russ how heavy does the frost have to be for pcgs? >>
If your scans are a good indication, I believe this coin would get the cameo designation at the present time.

You're right about under Unum, but it also affects the second and third rays from the right above Unum. You were right about a few of the non-AH's having the same rev die. Dr.Wiles says a small percentage.
