Help with 1886-P Morgan double clashed

Is this anything special on this 1886-P Morgan? I couldn't find anything in the VAM listings. It's double clashed and most noticeable under the IN. There's a die crack starting in the left outside loop of the first 8. It leaves a big chip. There are small die chips on both sides of the neck. The first right star has chips near rim, and the sixth right star has a spike off one point. Some of the letters has similar smaller spikes.
Is it just cracks and chips or should I keep looking for a VAM match?

  • not positive but believe you just have a coin with clashes and cracks and there are no vams with those listings

    I just found out that my 1886P is a VAM - 1C. Which has 5 clashmarks of the V of the neck on the right rev between the eagle and the wreath.

    I have 2 with the exact same break, maybe a little later die state, that I have never been able to find either. Does your coin have a small crack from the bottom of U in pluribus across the top of her cap? Here's one of mine:

    Oh sure.... first I show two clashes, and mgoodm3 says he has five clashes.
    I have one coin, now you have two just like it. image

    Yes Becky. I do have a crack under the U that goes to the cap and then along the back of it. Your date looks exactly like mine. What a coincidence! When you identify yours, send me a note so I can put a label on mine too! image

    Thanks.

    Hey Norm, I was hoping you would find it and send me a noteimage

    I've pulled these coins out and rechecked them for weeks now, I am sure I'm missing something that will attribute them, but I can never find anything that matches. image
