Prooflike, albeit slightly circulated. But since it came to me as part of a lot deemed (and priced as) "commons" I don't think I ought to complain too much.

So here're the things I see:

Doubling in the reverse legend, most noticeably in the "STA" and the "O".

Some extra feather action, but only under one wing.

Finally, a deformed "I" in the motto which is likely inconsequential as I'm inclined to view this as being due to post-mint damage.

It looks like the A2/A1b reverse die but I can't tell which obverse die. Is there any doubling on the lips or date?

Liberty's lips do turn out to be doubled, which I was only able to spot when very closely examining that specific feature and even then I had to get the lighting just right. I cannot detect any doubling in the date, however.

That would make it a VAM23. That's a really cool obverse die. http://www.vamworld.com/1878-P+VAM-23
