Questions about 1887-P VAM 3A SuperCD Morgan

Is this one? I thought the coin was struck through grease. I've was going through Mark Kimpton's book and he mentions orange peel look and significantly worn dies.
He also stated there were no die cracks. I have die cracks on the obverse and reverse. If it is a 3A, it is just a late die state?

I recognize those die cracks on the reverse. I'll have to check the sock drawer.

Yes, that is the VAM-3A LDS. I have several, including an NGC 66 I cherried at the San Diego show last month. The EDS is the more desirable state, with a single clash, rather than this double clash.

That looks like the VAM 3A.

Both of the examples that I've sold had die cracks in the same areas.

Your Hair-Vee clash looks like Mark Kimpton's VAM-3A LDS photo.

I'll have to get to work posting it to VAMworld.
