Is this a legitimate variety? Or a fake?

I ALMOST bid on it.

A vam 4 is a micro o and there are several small o varieties that year.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. Did the winner of that auction get it for a fair price?

A legitimate AU-58 would be worth $50-$60 retail. That coin would be a stretch for a 58, but the price seems fair.

They made millions of Micro O's in 1880-O. The 1899-O Micro is the one that's scarce and very rare in BU. The 1896, 1900, 1901 and 1902 Micro O's are "controversial".

Looks like an average AU, not screaming cleaned. Winning bid seems appropriate. Seller pretty much netted AU bid for it.
