Looks like it but cannot tell for sure with your pic and no other pics. You should really put up obverse and reverse of your coin if you want folks to help. CLEAR PICS. It's apparent that you know VAMs but need you to help us help you....

Thank you, I will get better pics.
Well I found out about vams a couple of days ago so trying to soak up on the subject. And sometimes things are lost in translation when I type :)

Thanks for the additional pics. The full coin shots get real grainy when I blow them up, so not the best to work with. The two VAM's you suggested, do have similar mint mark location and date positioning. With what I have to work with, not sure beyond that. Here is a link to read over if you are serious about VAMming though, it's very helpful when starting out.

Vaming is fun but it makes your eyes hurt

It the 37 I found a hairline of extra metal on below belly
Its listed in the 37

Impossible to capture.

Thanks for help
