    I have a roll of uncirculated 1898-O Morgan dollars. Half are from the same die pair, a quarter are from another pair, and the rest vary.
    The two large groups are VAMs. I was trying to figure out three things.

    1. What is the VAM for Group 1?
    2. Does the clashing in the hairvee of Group 1 look like any VAMs? Everytime I hear of hairvee clashing, it's a VAM.
    3. What is the VAM for Group 2?

    The photos I saw of the VAM-7A and the VAM-13A look different than these coins.

    Group 1
    Very near or near date
    open 9
    crack through neck to 1 in date
    clashed obverse and reverse
    clashing in hairvee on obverse
    crack over mint mark on reverse
    mint mark may have slight right tilt
    spike under tail feather
