some VAM help on this 1886 Morgan... die cracks, doubling around the date; bar on the wing etc.

So, I thought that this was simply a variation with an N on the obverse (coming off the neck) but ther is a bar coming up off the left wing and running under the "n" in god we trust... there is also die clashing near the top of the right wing/ wreath area; die breaks front and back; near UNUM, under the date...also looks like doubling on the date... here are some pics. Any insight is always appreciated and I hope that everyone has a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The close ups are out of focus. Could you provide better ones that show the date and the clashed N?

Looks like a possible clashed letter(s) at Liberty's Hair Vee as well.

It's an 1886 VAM 1F - terminal die state.

Compare it to this coin.

Looks like that's it. Too bad I passed up on a few of them over the past year. 1886 is often clashed, and at times seems like is always clashed.

Just so you can see what the other clashes come from:
