1887-P VAM-3A LDS Morgan ???

Any opinions of this? I think it's an 1887-P VAM-3A in a late die state. I'm pretty confident about the 1887-P part. It has a double clash T from TRUST on the obverse, die chips in both 8's, and doubled 1 and 7.

I have seen prices for the Top 100 and Hot 50. If you know the "I" and "R" values, can you judge the value? The VAM-3A is listed as I-3 R-5. Are there other price lists? I know I'd pay what ever I can afford for a coin I wanted, and I can compare prices on eBay... I'm just curious if there are other price lists available to the public.

Lastly, any opinions on the grade? I was thinking AU?

Sorry, I was incomplete on my answer.. At this time there is no realistic premium for the coin. However, I would say hold the coin. It will likely have a real premium once the new book on clashes comes out next year.

Also, there are prices available to the public for VAMs. The best sources are rcicoins.com, vamlink.com and ashmore.com.
