It must match them all, since regular coins can have similar die marks

It must match all and exactly not just a couple, pl business strikes can have similar die marks.

The Reverse die can be identified by two bulges on the D of DOLLAR and a nearly vertical die scratch above the eagle's right foot. This same die was used for proof coinage for all 1879 and 1880 Morgans. A useful marker to identify circulated proofs. This reverse die has never been confirmed on any business strike for the three years it was in service.

May I ask "Who", attributed this coin?......

..... And, did you purchase it as a "Vam 13"?

Hum... I would send it off and have it graded. A proof should not be raw and sold since most have no idea how to ID die marks, and that goes for many dealers.
