1899-O VAM Help and 1886 3+2 pickup

Hello All-

I picked up this 1899-O today just curious because of some clashes I saw. My camera and I are fighting tonight so hopefully some of this looks ok. There is a nice crack in the date heading left into the neck and the next 2 stars. It is also on the last 4 left stars. I also see a small crack in the bottom of the hair. Behind the bottom of the cap I can see a clash of the reverse leaves. On the reverse some more cracking throughout, neck clash above the wing and back of the cap clash near the leaves. Any idea on Vam? I didnt see a clash mentioned on Vamworld. The o seems tilted right.

Also I got this 1886 3+2 at greysheet bid. It is unattributed PCGS 65. Any ideas on value? I know it is common so I assume just a little over normal 65 price.

No clashed "leter" transfer that I can see in your 99O, so it won't be attributed. Very nice 3/2 1886; by the way, I believe that the 3/2 is the only attributed VAM that has no clashed letter.

I didnt realize a letter has to be clashed to get the VAM designation, I would then go by the high tilted o for the VAM.

Yeah, no clashed letter, no VAM designation; LVA "IS" VAM's and he sets the rules. I think that you 99O is a VAM-3.

Is the O high enough for VAM 18?
