  Strong die clash from the back of Liberty's cap. This is a rather common clash to show up on Morgans, but it's usually not this strong.

  Edit: This might be VAM 18A

  Understand. But by showing the entire coin obverse and reverse(thank you for doing that by the way), we can see date position, mint mark, and other characteristics which help to attribute the Vam more precisely!

  Looks like it has the spike under the chin, on the neck, also.

  There is enough information to guess the number of existing examples of this die clash. If all of the coins from this die pair were struck from dies not adjusted properly there could be many. According to an old reference from Dean F. Howe there were 50 die pair that struck an average of 243,600 coins per pair. Assuming die wear would cause evidence of clashing to disappear how many of these could exist ?
