Thanks to @-makecents- ... I kept hunting and came across an entry in John Robert's list "A dozen VAMs for 2020":
1888-P VAM-32 tripled obverse, all but unknown:
https://vamworld.com/wiki/1888-P_VAM-32
I'm now thinking this must be it ... unfortunately, there is no image of the date in that page, but merely states that it is "within normal parameters".
Here are some more images: first, a detail of the "LIBERTY" letters which shows two little die gouges (?) within the recessed areas of the "T" and the "Y", as well as the same doubling on "RIB" that I already showed previously; second, full images (not resized) of the obverse and reverse.
I have to get in closer with the Nikon D60 to get good close-ups, so the detail shown in the other images probably won't be clear due to the camera's lack kof resolution if I want to get the full coin all at once.
1. Doubling on "RIB" and die gouges in "LIBERTY":
2. Full obverse:
3. Full reverse:
So is it VAM-32, or do I need to keep looking? I don't see the tripling in the hair, though...
