The supposed tiara and olive leaf doubling I'm seeing is likely due to the gin, my aging eyes, machine doubling or they might be real. I have no idea so I'd ask the darkside gurus (or others who really just want to chat...) for an expert opinion. Don't think it a VAM-3 (I don't see a lot of doubling on that variety either but I don't think mine matches it), no left lean to the MM (so no VAM-2) and I have no clue what the doubling lower right (rays) looks like on the VAM-4 because the picture is far from clear.
There is ever so slight, perhaps, edges on a lower olive and leaf, as well as something along the back of the neck, but I don't think these impressive enough to even warrant pictures.
Might I have a VAM-1?
Thanks in advance and happy easterbunny chocolate in advance.
Gary
Quick 1934-S darkside question - maching doubling or bad eyes or other?

I'm not seeing doubling.

Thanks to you and @colwillys.
I blame the combo of gin and aged eyes. Will try and get better pictures because they really don't show what I think I'm seeing (imaginary or not).
Appreciate your input.

Gary, just speaking from my own experience, Peace dollars to the untrained eye can show signs of "doubling" all over the place. I don't know your history with Peace dollars, but I had the same thoughts about "doubling" when I first started looking at them. I learned fast however.

Gary,
Just keeping drinking your Gin! the 34S is a tough coin in general. You will know when you have a 3 or 4.
