  Post the mint mark, too. That would probably be the first thing I'd look at on an 82-S to make the attribution easier.

  I'd describe it as:
  
  Obverse: Top loop of 2nd 8 strongly doubled on top and left outside and lower loop doubled on upper right. Chip on right between loops. 2 doubled strongly on top loop.
  Reverse: S mint mark tilted left and set left and slightly high.
  
  The tilted mint mark should make it easy to narrow this down, but that's just not happening. The C3b and C3e reverses have the mint mark lower in the pictures I can find.
  
  Do you have any of the other doubling or diagnostics of the VAM 20? There's always the possibility that the wrong reverse was posted on VAMWorld, but my opinion now is that this could be a new one.

  There is some very slight doubling in NUM of UNUM. And I do mean very slight--even hard to see under the microscope.

  If it's super hard to see with a microscope, I would disregard it in favor of the other diagnostics. Post it to VAMWorld to see if you get other thoughts. Tell them I sent/brought you.

  I posted this at Vam World. Maybe they can figure it out.
