Hello first off I just started coin collecting 6 months ago and have been learning as much as possible when it comes identifying VAMs or errors etc . I use the VAM website but couldn't find anything close to what I'm seeing on my coin . I can see what appears to be light marks of a clashed die . I have yet to actually see a clashed die morgan in person so maybe I'm just being hopeful. Sorry if the pictures are not the best

It is the remnants of a die clash event.

Your coin looks like a normal date position with the mint mark set high and possibly left of center. Compare to VAM-5 and VAM-5A (any sign of the die crack off the E in ONE?)

You usually need letter transfer for a clashed die to be called a VAM, still pretty cool tho.
