Question on this 1902-O Morgan and it's VAM ID

So I picked this 1902-O Morgan up from a bullion shop. Iv'e sat down to attribute it,but it does not seem to fit any of the known VAM's. At least that I could attribute. I'm using VAMWorld. Some details match some VAM's but not completely. The biggest thing about this Morgan is the strong doubling in the eagle's left wing. I'd appreciate some of the experts opinions in here. I'm on the fence about it being a new variety.

Try VAM-71A with the radial die crack through the "N" of UNITED.

@cpm9ball That's it!! I think the doubled profile is a typo. I see no doubling of the profile at all. I do see a bit of doubling in the ear. The die cracks match exactly. I probably skipped this one due to the mention of the profile doubling. I'm surprised that there is no mention of the doubling in the wing. I'm glad to see it is an R-6 though.

 

Correction, the doubling of the wing is listed in the VAM-71.

 

If it hadn't been for your superb photos, I might never have caught it. However, the pre-sort function "Reverse Die Cracks" made it very easy.

Thank you Chris.

 

That baby has UFC-type cauliflower ear! I love it, cool Morgan
