I am not familiar with Morgan dollars as I mainly stick to modern; however, I got this one and noticed these markings on the obverse. Are these normal, if not, is it a variety?

I compared mine to this one: https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1887-1/7172

Those are all die clash marks. It looks like a VAM-3A.
