Looking through some Morgan and Peace dollars.
This one looks pretty clear to me I hope the pics do it justice.

Yes, you nailed it! Yours is the Alligator Eye with clashing, the VAM-12 does not have the clashing. Nice find!

Of the nearly 50 VAM's for this year and mint...good job looking through them and figuring it out! Many would have said..."which VAM is this?"
You're way ahead of the cruve!
Looking fwd to your MANY finds!
WTG!

For selling purposes, no but if you just wanted to for your personal collection, that would be up to you. I would put it in a nice capsule and call it a day.

Here are some that have sold on the bay and I think the higher selling prices are mostly because of the grade, not the VAM. The best I remember, these are not hard to come by, I had two or three, at one point.

IMO it's not worth getting graded. While it is a T100 VAM, it's also pretty common.
The discoloration on the OBV isn't going to help it either.
