1921-D Morgan with Berry in Eagle's Mouth

nesvt

You know those dots that appear on the 1921 Morgans? Supposedly one reason was for a hardness test of the die. Here's one in the eagle's mouth. If it's some kind of rare VAM, please let me know.

looks more like a seed than a berry.

I don't know anything about the VAM, but I do recall reading about testing the dies by making small dots in the field. I didn't realize they would do that so close to or on the device. Interesting find...

Not a known vam. I don't think Leroy would attribute it, as it's too small. Damn, you got a nice price on that 1AT!

Looks like a canker sore.

It could be the eagle's tongue.

This is the rare VAM "hit" variety

Definitely not a hit, that's one of the 1921 "dots", a small one, but it is not damage.

Norm, I will assign a JOH number to record that variety. Agree with Jack it is most likely too small to get a VAM from Leroy.

That's cool! If you need the coin for anything, let me know and I'll send it to you.

Thanks!
