1900-O Morgan VAM 21 or 29A EDS?

Steve27

MAD4MORGANS (Terry) had me take another look at this 1900-O Morgan, which was originally ascribed as being VAM 21, for a die break near the date. While I realize it's hard to see all of the die break from my scan, there does seem to be a break begining below the star to the left of the date. It goes from there to the neck, then from the neck to the "1," and then as you can see, through the bottom of the date. How does this compare with VAM 29A?

No experts out there?

WIth the v29A, the most significant part of the break lies to the left of the 1 down to the denticles. So, an EDS would start showing deterioration there first. You state the crack begins below the star, not the denticles. I have a v29A somewhere, maybe I can get a picture up for you this evening. I'm fairly certain yours is not an EDS v29A.

Thanks for the input, I hope to see the pic.

Thanks, for ALL the help, particularly Terry, this is definately not a VAM 29A; however, it may be a VAM 34.
