Just picked this one up and I think NGC has this one wrong. 
Q1: NGC says VAM 7 (coin 7110) but I don't see any dash. I think this is VAM 4 (coin 7107). What say you?
***EDIT: VAM 7 does not show on the label but it does show when you verify the cert (first screen shot)
Q2: Would this cross to PCGS at MS62? I just don't have a good feel for the line between 61 and 62. The fields are pretty darn nice but the face has a few deep gashes as well as the rim. It does have great contrast and eye appeal in hand that might not reflect in my photos.

Maybe it is me, but I do not see the VAM listed on the label.
Correct, it is not listed on the label. It is only seen when you verify the NGC cert on NGC website.
Edited to Add: I think it is a result of limitation on space on the label.

Ahhh. I see that now. I’m not certain I like that. But, that aside, I do agree that NGC got this one wrong based on the images. It looks like VAM 4.
"NGC says VAM 7 (coin 7110) but I don't see any dash. I think this is VAM 4 (coin 7107). What say you?"
Agree, 4 not 7
"Would this cross to PCGS at MS62? I just don't have a good feel for the line between 61 and 62."
I think you have a fair shot at keeping the 62
