Is this any kind of VAM? 1921-D Morgan

pcgs69

First off... I realize the photos are tough.. I couldn't get the lighting right, so I had to adjust it in the images to be able to see. On the reverse, the wings have a flat spot (see 3rd image). There are die cracks all over the piece too. Is this anything worth a premium? I hope the pictures are okay.

i know you are most likely asking if it is one of the good ones but in case you don't know, every peace dollar and morgan is a VAM even if it hasn't been discovered yet. that is to say, if it is authentic and not significantly damaged, worn or altered beyond attribution, it cannot not be a vam.

nothing is really jumping out at me as being uncommon, so that polishing, cracks etc are somewhat normal and the list for 21-p and d is HUGE, so if no one chimes in, i'd start with the sort-by pages. if no one know this vam and/or gives the links and you don't know where the links are, just @ me and i'll post the links.

close-ups of any noticeable features is HIGHLY recommended when vamming as it is easier for all involved. it is not an easy sport with over 6,000+ known vams! i think that is probably more than all the sheldons, newcombs, LM, WB, overtons etc, COMBINED!

First I am Not a VAM collector but just a casual observer. So this might be a start or I might be messed up. Others should be able to say which it is.

The cracks and stuff in your 21D appear to match up with this one. However, your 21D does not have all the cracks and stuff contained in this one. So it might be an earlier die state. Again maybe this is a start.
