Welcome to the neighborhood!

 

I realize you're new here, so I should tell you that you must use the "Marketplace" for buy/sell/trade listings.

 

VAM-1C has some die scratches in the eagle's right wing and the tailfeathers. I assume that you checked this against the VAMWorld listings. There is no price history listed in VAMView for this coin.

1883 VAM 1C is a minor variety with no premium. All Morgan and Peace dollars have VAM numbers, as VAM numbers attempt to identify the die pair used to strike them, similar to how Overton numbers are used for bust halves, and Sheldon numbers are used for early large cents. Most die pairs are considered common or not interesting enough to warrant a premium. Value your coin as an MS62PL.

Welcome! I agree with the previous comments regarding VAMs.

 

Your 1883 Morgan is a common date and worth about $60 retail in MS62PL if the eye appeal is good.
