I was going through some of my morgans and this one stood out. It looked off center at first glance. After examining it I noticed it looked like a double die as the denticles were doubled. It is visible to the naked eye. Any ideas on what VAM it is and what it is worth would be appreciated, Thanks.

This is not actually a die variety. The apparent "doubling" (stretching) of the denticles occurred when the coin was struck. There was no doubling of the denticles in the die itself.
The "stretching" of the denticles can occur when the planchet expands radially when struck. So this is not a collectible VAM. But be sure to check for other VAMs such as the 8/7 over-dates etc.
