The two varieties listed in the Top 50 Peace VAM book are the 'Dot' Variety (VAM-4) and a Doubled Reverse (VAM-5). the Dot variety features a small circular lump of metal on the reverse under the leafs near the eagle's claw. Picture of that variety follows.
There is no 'dot' in the area that you have specified. I am not a vammer or anything, but the only thing that I see is a clash mark on the reverse (I believe it is the back of Liberty's neck on the obverse) and what looks like a faint die gouge in the rays (about 1 or 2 cm to the right of the 'dot' you showed) .

Thank you! >>
That one gets a lot of people who don't do VAMs. Congrats on figuring out it is just a clash and not a significant gouge. You migh also see a spike up from the eagle's shoulder.
Here's a 1926-S VAM 5 (double reverse) as well that is in the top 50. Easiest way to locate this one is the doubling to the right of the two top leaves. A very hard coin in 63+
This is actually Randy's PCGS MS-64 coin that he won in a Heritage auction. I just imaged off of Heritage's archives. It's the only coin I haven't photographed in hand... why.... because I can't find one...
