Impossible to tell anything from the pics you posted, at least for me. The pics are too small and fuzzy to see any details. Try visiting the forum's Coin Photography help section to learn some of the How-to's of coin photography. I've learned a lot there and I'm sure it will help you also.

The general problem here is that these are scans, and low quality scans at that. There's no way to see doubling on such images. 'Photography' is the key word here - scans are not photographs, and unfortunately will not work for die variety identification, even in higher qualities.
Scans have one single uncontrolled direction of light, and that's just not right for properly casting the light and shadow combination required for die variety identification.
I would suggest an inexpensive microsope and digital camera to get better results. The pair, if purchased used and again - not necessarily the best ones out there - just something to get the job done - would be around $200-$300.
Barring that, we are always open to packages sent in for attribution where we can examine the coins in hand and send you a detailed letter of what you have.
