Just received this 1928-S MS64+ CAC'd Peace Dollar, noticed this doubling. Is this the VAM-3 Doubled Motto Variety? Attached some photos, trying to get some opinions.
vs my 26-S for example:

D in GOD as well close up:
Yes, VAM-3.
I also see die doubling on the designer's initials.
If I sent it to PCGS for a variety attribution would it keep the cert? Since its stickered and would need to be restickered?
Lets see the rays and double curved lines. I see a VAM 6.

Pcgs only seems to recognize this variety:

Correct. And ANACS will do any VAM. Try to match as much as you can with whats posted at VamWorld. I've got a VAM 6 and an 8 that I'll try to match up with some other markers I see in your pictures. The only definite doubling I see is the designers intials. I just don't want you sending it to PCGS and being disappointed.

There's obvious doubling on the E in WE and the D in GOD

can you shoot a close up of the designer's initials?
hopefully this helps although not the best quality, you can also see the doubling in the T as well better
photos or grainy microscope screens don't do it
i see you can save the micro photos to a card. if you put that card into your computer you could take all the photos off
otherwise, just shoot the initials the best you can withou the microscope
I can only help narrow it down at this point. The PCGS VAM 3 photo you posted is actually VAM 3A per the file lines thru and above the TR of TRVST. Look at the other two PCGS photo's of VAM 3 and notice the mint marks (MM) are in different positions; one high and one lower. According to VamWorld, and If a VAM 3, your MM should be high. GL

MM Location I just compared it to others and it sits higher.
