Very Interesting 1887-P Morgan $1!!-- Doublestruck In Collar?!

Hopefully the members who know about these things will chime in when they have a chance.

The forum had been suffering from a DDOS the past couple of days which made it difficult to access the forum and reply. Things seem to be working okay now so eventually someone will chime in.

Sorry for the poor pics.
With coin in hand, I am clearly seeing an M, the exact style and size of the designer's initial, in the field opposite the upper front neck area.
And I can also clearly see at least two, maybe three, faint profile features (lips, nose, eye) that seem to have been struck (partially out of collar) prior to the final strike (in collar) with slight CCW rotation between them. The extra device features are also proportionate to the original device design.

The obverse rim is beveled and nearly non-existent with the reeds touching the denticles, while the reverse rim is flat with a wide gap between the reeds and denticles.

I'm not an expert, but there is definitely more going on with this coin than just bag marks. JMHO

I'll try to upload some better pics in a few.
