Time for a bump in this thread, as more information has come out:
As I recently picked up the same exact coin as lawest, it has been determined by vamworld.com that this is a VAM-8B EDS (Early Die State), where the die crack and die break from the Phyrgian Cap to the M in UNUM has not yet been developed. Vamworld put the new information up ~July 27th, 2020, and November 5th, 2020.
Also of note, there is a tiny dot below the right leg of the M in UNUM, making this to my knowledge the only dual-dotted Morgan dollar VAM out there.
