I received a 1896-P Morgan in the mail today. (Sent it to Leroy VanAllen today)

raw. After intense examination of the reverse, there's a die crack which encompasses the whole reverse above the lettering. Furthermore, the letters in U.S.A. are doubled at the left, the Eagle's right wing is doulbled on the outer portion from the widest span upward to the tip, the olive leaves and olives are doubled on the left. The motto has doubling also on the left of the lettering. I have the 4th ed. VAM catalogue but it doesn't render any info. regarding the specimen I have in hand. Does anyone know what VAM this could be? No, I'm unable to post a pic. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Edited: I'll post it when I get the results.

Thanks, Wolf. I didn't find anything that came close to what I'm seeing. It's pretty wild lookin'. Where would one send such a coin for recognition & designation? ANACS?

Thanks, Mike. I emailed Jeff as the site specified. I couldn't find anything attributed for what I'm holding in my hand.
