Ok, time for the big reveal:
It is indeed a vam-12A (top 100) because of the clashing. I spotted the alligator eye and since I was on vamworld, that was an easy confirm. Apparently this variety is popular and can be found in high grades such as mine.
ICG gave it a MS-65!

Note, as to the grading, the reverse pulls up on the overall level of marks, and I can see why they gave it a 65. I kinda might want to send it into PCGS and see what they think.
Personal grade of mine is MS-64+
For the longest time I too thought what looked to be light wear on Morgan dollars obverse was actually how the coin is supposed to look like...
