Found it online at Heritage labled MS64PQ++! Pompadour die break, VAM-1Q. Previous finest were 2 63's.
Huge break, bigger than in Rob Joyce's book; this baby needs a haircut!

It always pays to check on what Heritage has. At times I've seen them with 20-30 21-Ds at a time. I can remember 25 years ago when BU original rolls could be had for barely more than circulated 78-04 Morgans ($120 roll).

How is the scarcity of this compared to the 1AM I have?

I once cherried a vam209 from and auction of theirs. It was only known in 64 until I found this one. The coin is a 1878 7tailfeather rev of 79. Vam 209 is the shortened wheat stock above liberty in the headress. The following coin is in a PCGS 65 holder.

Only 2 VAM-1AM's. According to Rob Joyce's book, The Pompadour was discovered in 1999. Fifteen are reported, but I've found two since, bringing the total to Seventeen.

An MS-61 Pompadour sold on eBay for $271 a couple of months ago. It's a super variety.

Toned: Nicely done. Those are very tough to find in MS, not to mention 65!

So mine is only the third known so far? Interesting. I would suspect the great melt that occured during WWII destroyed a lot of 21 Morgans. If you look at the pop reports, the 21-D and 21-S have fewer in existance than a lot of the earlier coins with much smaller mintages. It's truly surprising looking at the 21-D pops when you consider a total mintage of over 20 million.
