1921-D Morgan with gouge on reverse

Can't identify this one either. It's a 1921-D Morgan with double/triple left stars. There are several cracks on both sides, but I couldn't identify it. One from the neck to denticles, another through all lefts stars, across letters on left and top.
There is a crack through lower OF on the revese, but there is also a die gouge from the O in OF to the second T in TRUST. I thought this would be an easier diagnostic than the cracks. I was wrong. Any ideas? I can add some crack pictures if it will help.

    I have no clue to which VAM...but that one also needs a good soaking!

    Is this the coin from eBay? Show a closeup of the gouge if you can. I'd love to see it up close after all you went through to get one.

    By the way, I'm used to opening your threads and seeing bunches of really cool pics. One this time? Not nearly enough for meimageimage

  • No, this isn't the eBay coin. I bought a 21-D with a gouge, received a different coin, contacted the seller, was told they don't use stock photos and the wrong one might have been shipped, offered to swap. I decided to keep what I had and move on. Later I spotted another 21-D with the same gouge on eBay.. and bought it. Still waiting to receive that one.
    This is a third one with a different gouge.

    There's another gouge on the obverse to the right of the I... goes from the tip of the leaf to the denticles.
    Pictures? You want more pictures?

    Thank you, much betterimage Not that I can be of any help with it. I don't do well with just verbal attributions, I need pictures. Since Ashmore and Rob's sites haven't worked lately, I have come to a screeching halt trying to find VAMs. I need to buy some more books tooimage

  • Trying again in the daytime. Any ideas on the gouge from the O in OF to the second T in TRUST?
