How's this for a 1921-D Morgan Die Break?

I know they're not very rare, but it's the first one I've come across.

    Nice one! Those are on a par with the VAM 1N Unicorn in my book.
    When in doubt, don't.
  • Norm:

    That looks like a Vam-8a , you should find strong polishing lines
    in the wreath above the mint mark .

  • Very nice !
  • Hobbist, that's a VAM-1W. Have a look at Rob Joyce's page here for more information. The dies for that VAM were trashed - makes for great fun under the loupe. image

    Thanks for the info! Yes indeed, it was pretty cool when I got it in the mail. The cracks and such were so noticeable to the naked eye that even I noticed them right off and had to get the loupe and camera out.

    The VAM-1W is a R-6 rarity factor coin (Very Rare - Several Hundred)

    Nice Score!! image

    Thanks. I ordered an AU58 21-D for $17 bucks from one of my favorite dealers and got a nice surprise and some education along with it. Not a bad deal at all. image
