For sure on the reverse, this looks like the the edges "bowl" into the center of the coin. What do you think? Any idea of which VAM?

I call it the deep dish effect.
A slab of homemade deep dish lasagna sounds so good right about now.
Fresh soft and crispy-edged garlic bread too.
Wash it down with a Mexican coke.
The black border around it gives it that effect.

Not sure why I'm reminded of the "dog dish" hubcaps on Adam-12 Police cars.

What @AUandAG said, bad cropping.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
Interesting that someone paid 3x the coin's value for that dog.
The buyer has 60 bids on 60 items in the past 30 days, 98% with the seller. Not sure if that means anything.
A lot of 78-S reverses look like that. Not sure off the top of my head which VAM it is, but it's not a rare one. VAM 30, maybe? If you want the deep dish look on a Morgan, there are a lot of them for 82-S. They are pretty spectacular looking in higher grade or if you can find one that's PL.

Beware, VERY bad seller!!
92-O obverses too IIRC.
This one looks like that in hand. Almost DMPL obverse.
Picture looks warped. Probably from editing or one of those cheap iphone attachment lenses
San Francisco Mint had persistent problems with correct hardening of dollars dies. Many suffered collapse almost as soon as they were put in service.
There is an interesting background story on this, part of which is my next book, Girl on the Silver Dollar, due from the printer soon.
What drives you to say this? I have been bidding on many of his things.
I would not have paid that much for that coin... in fact way, way less....Cheers, RickO
looks like lighting angle
