I got an email late last night from my local dealer. He just bought 900 Morgan and Peace dollars. The morgans were all 1921-P/D/S and the Peace dollars were of various dates.
I went to the shop this morning and spent 4 hours looking through all the dollars. Here are the coins I came away with.
I am very excited.
Thank you for taking the time to look.
Richard.

4) 1921-P Unable to attribute, but has nice sized die break of the 3rd left star.
5) 1921-P Unable to attribute, but has very nice die break from the top of the second A in AMERICA to the denticles.
6) 1921-D VAM 1AH Fun with 21.
7) 1921-D VAM 3A Very happy with this find. Fun with 21.
All the Morgans grade AU between 53 to 58.

This coin is not listed above, but I found it last week. Note the large die cracks and the break in the denticles above U in UNITED. Any ideas?
Coin 4 on the P-mint Morgan list.

So, in my opinion, if there are five more bags like this one and all were unsearched for these things, think of what can be in them. The VAM thing was not an issue all them years ago I guess.
Anyway......Jack, I will try to post pics of the important parts tonight.
Thanks all for the replies.

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
I went to my coin shop and spent 2 hours looking for VAMs too, but the owner of the shop collects VAMs
That is so cool that he lets you do that, you are a very lucky guy. And I believe that you deserve a heartfelt YOU SUCK from your fellow vammers
Becky, You are correct, it appears. I looked all up and down on the VAM update and just could not find it. Then when you said 32A, I looked at 32A and there it was. Thank you for the attribution.
Here is the one I found in an antique shop a few month back
