1881-P Morgan Dollar is this a VAM-1D?

I am not a VAM'er, but I would like to know about the coin varieties that I have. I have a 1881-P Morgan Dollar and would like to know if anyone could verify the potential VAM-1D for this coin. The VAMWorld website does not show a coin or pick-up points for the variety, but there a brief description;

1881-P VAM-1D Thread-Like Die Impression IBE

Discovery 2011
1D III2 1 - C3a (Thread-Like Die Impression IBE ) (?) I-2 R-5
Obverse III2 1 - Curvy thread-like die impression thru IB up to lower wheat leaf and back down to E bottom in LIBERTY

Thank you for your interest and comments.

do you see a thread-like? they can be tough to pick up from images depending on lighting angle. i don't see one when enlarging the coin but doesn't mean one isn't there.

is that a dash under the 8?

i searched a few different methods and i got nada for vam 1d. probably will need someone with the book and/or supplements to comment.

you can do some sorting from the date position list if it helps.

the reverse clash by the In is a great marker to sort by.
