Hello, folks!
I'm completely new to VAMs, and am very curious as to whether or not my recent pickup coin qualifies or is listed as one. Here are some images of the coin:

Obverse whole
1887-P-Morgan:-Die-Crack-Ring-/-Major-Rev.-Die-Clash-/-DDR?

Reverse Whole
1887-P-Morgan:-Die-Crack-Ring-/-Major-Rev.-Die-Clash-/-DDR?

Obverse Die Clash (Arrowheads from reverse show through)
1887-P-Morgan:-Die-Crack-Ring-/-Major-Rev.-Die-Clash-/-DDR?

Reverse Major Die Clash (Liberty Cap corner from obverse shows through)
1887-P-Morgan:-Die-Crack-Ring-/-Major-Rev.-Die-Clash-/-DDR?

Reverse Doubling:
1887-P-Morgan:-Die-Crack-Ring-/-Major-Rev.-Die-Clash-/-DDR?
1887-P-Morgan:-Die-Crack-Ring-/-Major-Rev.-Die-Clash-/-DDR?

Date
1887-P-Morgan:-Die-Crack-Ring-/-Major-Rev.-Die-Clash-/-DDR?

I was very, very surprised and excited to notice the doubling on the reverse devices of this coin! I look forward to your thoughts and input as to the attribution of the coin as well. Thanks.

I recognize the chip on the first 8 in the date as being from a late die stage of VAM 13. Take a look at the VAM 13 page on VAMWorld for all the diagnostics. The early die stage shows a digit in the denticles, but it's worn off the die by the time the cracks, chips, and clashes appear. The reverse should still show doubling, though.
