1881s Morgan VAM Needed

Any ideas of a VAM for this Morgan graded MS-64 by PCGS

First thing I notice are lines coming off the bottoms of the date and some stars closer to the date. I'm guessing deteriorating die

I also notice something inside the the left on the top loop of the first 8 in the date. Could be a contact mark though.


I also notice what could be doubling on liberty's cap, not sure though, it could be the photo's lighting and angle though.



I do not see anything much on the reverse but here are photos in case someone knows more than me sees anything that would help


Thanks for the Help,

I'm gonna say VAM-9. It has the spiked 8 with the doubled cap.

 

Thanks, I think that the obverse matches up. VAM-38 shares an obverse die with VAM-9 and on my coin the "S" looks to be in same position as VAM-38.

I see the light doubling in the "8"s in the date which VAM-9 has on the obverse.

Thanks for the help,
