this one has a weak strike, eagles breasts shows signs of feathers but the legs and talons are flat, the OBV hair is as usual for an "O" mint weak, but the rest looks good. what would this grade at?

Looks solid for MS-63, could go 64 but the strike should hold it back. It has nice appeal despite the weakness. As for VAM I haven't a clue.

Typical weak strike New Orleans mint, I'd grade it at MS-63.

MS-63 (maybe even MS-64 given the O mint mark weak strike prevalence).

Even with the weak strike, it's clean enough to be a -63.
