That's a pretty common condition on the 84-S and does not connote any particular VAM. Check for a small die chip in the left wreath on the reverse, or digits in the denticles below the date on the obverse.
Congratulations, you've found the first known example of the VAM 4C since I discovered the variety in April 2005.
4C III(2)2 · C3a (Far Date, Die Chip Left Side Left Wreath #2) ( ? ) I-2 R-5 Reverse C3a– Die chip on left side of left wreath between N & I in UNITED. Die chip lower than VAM 4B.
Unfortunately the image at the ashmore.com website is dead but you can view my discovery piece here.
That is really cool, not only having the piece but having the person who discovered it tell me what it is. Would it be a good idea to ship it off to Anacs?
If you don't mind shelling out the money, ANACS would be the only one of the top 3 that would slab it with the VAM variety on the label. And just judging by the small images, it might get bodybagged for cleaning at the other two anyway.
You could keep it raw in a cardboard 2x2 and just write the variety on it. Sure is economical.
