Bryan,
I don't know how you and SuperDave do it. I looked at the pictures in your gallery (nice shots by the way) and compared them to the coin in hand. It has the following diagnostics: Broken leaf (very clear and distinct); Doulbled Libery shifted left (again very clear and pronounced); the nostril is about half way between your pictures of a broken and complete nostril; there is slight doubling on the stars (most pronounced on #4 and #13); the polished right wing; the die chip on the left wing; and the polished ear. What it doesn't exhibit: Doubled "RIB"; clash on top of left wreath.
Now I'm really confused. It does have the exact die break seen in your picture "VAM82-stars".
I thank you for your help. This has been fun and mystifying. The only way to do this right is to post pictures. I should have a decent camera within a week, so stay tuned.
