I was pleased to purchase this 1878-S PCGS MS-65 PL Morgan Dollar this evening.
Here is the link to the E-Bay auction with seller's photos. I'll post updated photos with my impressions of the
coin after I receive it and have a chance to carefully examine it.
My initial impression from the photos provided is that I like the cameo contrast and the strike of the coin, and
that perhaps it missed the DMPL designation due to the smokey toned areas in the fields of the coin.

Like MorganNut2 mentioned, VAM 17 has the over polished hair below the mongram on the neck and the unengraved wing. Look for denticle marks around the OL of DOLLAR and to the left and below the tail feathers. If it has those, then it's a VAM 17A.
