Anyone know if this Morgan is listed as a VAM

I got a new camera a Panasonic DMC-FZ8 and was taking pics of my coins. This 1884-CC Morgan has what looks like die cracks
on the reverse. I never noticed it before. It is most pronounced in the word States "tates". There are finer lines going through
the top of the right wing "hard to see in this pic" and in the tops of some letters in Americia, "meri" Any insight is appreciated.

Die cracks are extremely common on Morgans and were a normal, predictable part of the life cycle of the dies. As such, they do not by themselves -- except in very extreme cases -- result in a VAM designation. This coin falls into the first category... it's just a pretty Morgan with some normal die cracking between the letters.
Just trying to decide what to buy.
