Is this Morgan a VAM ?

I know nothing about Morgans and i am curious if this 1878 Morgan with a die crack on the reverse is a VAM. I would appreciate any comments. It runs across the top of DOLLAR and AMERICA

Possibly VAM-70:

Get VAMmed!

-- Every Morgan is a VAM.
-- Many (if not most) Morgans have die cracks.
-- Die cracks alone (as opposed to die breaks) are not what identifies a given VAM.

Your pictures of the 1878 7TF R78 coin (for which, by the way, there are more than 100 different known VAMs, and as a group are among the most difficult to accurately identify) are not nearly large enough to identify the VAM.

1878 VAM-114A. The cracks look right and there looks like the characteristic wreath clash coming up out of the top of the left (viewer's right) wing. You should find the hair below the designer's initial on the obverse overpolished. Exceedingly comming 7TF VAM by the way.
