Im just learning to try and identify mint errors. I have an 1884 Morgan that may have a VAM error. And possible doubling.

VAMs are not errors, they are varieties, and every Morgan and Peace dollar has one. Most are common.
The doubling on your coin is strike doubling, or mechanical doubling, which is not to be confused with hub doubling, the valuable kind.

Excellent! Thank you everyone! I am going to learn about mechanical doubling.

If a VAM 6, then the first C is indeed doubled but on the inside. See the extra metal? Check here for the other markers.
