1878-P Morgan VAM ???

I recently acquired this coin and noticed doubling in the E, P, R, I & B. I couldn’t find a VAM that matches. Any Morgan experts out there that can point me in the right direction of a good resource for VAMs? Or does this appear to be machine doubling? I have a hard time telling the difference sometimes. I apologize for the picture quality - best I can do with an iPhone 12. Thanks in advance for the help.-Mat.

It might be V79 better photos would be needed and a reverse photo always helps.
Since you have the coin in hand you can double check it here.
The doubled Liberty could also help you to lock it down.

Thank you for the info. I’ll check it out. Here’s a shot of the reverse.
Not a Vam 79...... you will need to double check with the link.
VAM 83

Thanks for the help messydesk & ifthevamzarockin. It appears to have all the markers of the VAM83. Do y’all think it’s worth getting graded?
Not worth grading, the reverse shot makes it appear to have been cleaned and it's not a rare Vam.
@messydesk Great job nailing that one down soo quick, that's why you get the big bucks!
It will most likely come back details graded. The reverse is certainly cleaned and I would bet the obverse is the same. You can see the hairlines on the reverse around the eagles head very prominently.
