I was able to figure out the last one I posted, this time I'm not sure but here are some seller's photos: (1884-O)
Pitting on cheek:
crack through hair:
crack through wreath:
dot in olive leaves: (2nd from left) also the leaf 2nd from right has something going on.
What's in the "O"?
Die chip/pitting in wing;

<< <i> Looks like 1884 O VAM 16A >>
Vam 16A was eliminated and became 19A.

Looks like it could be an UNC from the pics, how did I do at $25 shipped? I will be sure to post more pics when I get it.
Where is the listing of what the different codes mean, such as I-2 and R-5? I know the "R" is "rarity", but not what the 5 means in terms of quantity.
Did ya see my pics I posted of my new 83-o vam 17a?
The R factor is "rarity", R-5 is "Rare" (several thousands), and the I factor is "interest", I-2 is "Minor die variety with some interest to variety collectors". The higher either number is, the better. These figures are from "The Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan & Peace Dollars" by Van Allen and Mallis, a "must have" if you're getting into VAMs.
Happy Hunting!!
