Unless this was the vam-23a, then you would have a very valuable variety. with the Frog on low AU. I also see some clashing on the reverse, so that will narrow down the possible vams.

A VAM is a number that is assigned to a Peace or Morgan dollar by die variety. Leroy C. Van Allen and A. George Mallis created the VAM reference system for Morgan's and Peace dollars. VAM is the abbreviation created from the first letter of Van Allen & Mallis.

And the most comprehensive site for vams is of course vamworld.com, which I use all the time.
