Opinions on this 1926-S, is it a VAM?

I noticed this 1926-S PCGS MS65 coin in a Heritage Auction that has some unusual doubling or something going on in the area of DO on DOLLAR similar to what is shown for VAM-5 in my Top 50 book, but not the same. Peace Dollar VAM experts, any opinion on this coin?

I dont see anything..... BTW... if you DO post something here that some of us are looking for... and we haven't found it yet... you decrease your chances of winning it...

Steve, Thanks for the advice on posting an auction coin that might be a VAM. The reason I posted the auction is the coin is out of my price range on what I like to spend for VAM's and also, I thought at MS65 the coin probably wouldn't carry a premium because of the VAM. To me it looked like a bulge on the O of dollar and the rays through that area appeared to be wider than normal.
