Peace dollar VAM?

Does this look like a 1922-P VAM? I couldn't find anything listed. Sorry, you'll have to blow up the picture. I'm looking at two spots.... dead center of the obverse looks like a gouge in the hair. Below the B in LIBERTY there's a spike on the right of a tiara ray. The seller wants $18 and says it's MS62. Opinions?

Probably both are marks. I'd pass.

Thanks. I passed on this one, but I had $36 to spend... so I bought two others. They are both 1923-P's. I saw two dots on the obverse of one coin. One is to the right of the 1 in the date; the other below the hairline near the ear. Probably dents in the cellophane on the 2x2.
The second coin had some nice clash marks on the reverse. One is over the DO in DOLLAR; the other below DOLLAR extending from the olive branch.
If you know anything about these two or have any comments, please pass it on. Thanks again.

That is a heavy clash on the reverse. In addition to those areas you noted, you will find a third curved clash mark just above and between the 'LA' of DOLLAR. All 3 of these areas are the site of some heavy clashing...not only on this date...but on many other dates of the series as well.
