That is definitely not a doubled die. The mintmark was punched into every working die, after die production, by hand. This is caused by a break in the die, called a die chip. Sometimes, it is called a "filled letter/number." It's not special as far as I know.

When working with any coin, it is always advisable to post the entire obv. and rev. to better clarify any inquiry.

Also, you might want to submit your coin to the VAM forum if it looks like this:

mdpmedia, thank you for the info I believe that is an example of my coin. And I tried to post full pictures of the coin yesterday but the forum app kept telling me the photo was too large no matter how far away from the Coin I took the picture and cropped it down. I will still try and post the obverse and reverse of the full coin. I appreciate you taking the time to looking this up for me. I just started collecting Morgan's a couple weeks ago and I don't know to much about them except what I've been able to learn in the past couple weeks. I will submit my pictures to the VAM forum. Thanks again

This phenomenon is also called a "broken post".

The coin is definitely uncirculated condition. Would anyone recommend that I have a sentence to be graded. Normally I wouldn't want to spend the money but considering it's a possible VAM 6 I was thinking it would be worth it.
