Picked up my first Morgan ever, a 1921-D. Bought it mainly because it was cheap, I like that its the only Denver-MM in the series, and it had some interesting die cracks on the reverse. Upon further inspection once home, its a solid VAM-1D.
Anyone know what these trend for price wise? I'd grade it at 62 at best.

I am qualified to answer most of your questions, but the vam value guide lists it as having a value of $100 in 62 and $150 in 63
It's not a new find, but I got crossover results today on the 1880-O VAM 49 ANACS-45 I posted in October. I thought it had a chance at XF45, but PCGS said XF40.
1881-O VAM-1D NGC MS65 (Flaky Eye) 1921 VAM-14A ICG MS65
The flaky eye is a no-brainer crossover to PCGS unless they think that stuff at the eye in altered surfaces. The ICG coin is possibly a cross to PCGS MS65, lustrous with very few marks.
1921 S VAM-1B2 Thornhead currently in a NTC MS64 holder (estimated MS62) 1880 P VAM-14 est Fine with details for rim bumps 1888 O Oval O est. PO1-FR02 having trouble nailing down exactly which oval O so far since its so worn 1921 D VAM-1F PCGS MS63
hopefully something else interesting will come out of small stack I picked up this week but havent had time to go through yet

1880-S VAM-8 NGC 64 (a blah Top 100 VAM but an easy cross to PCGS) 1890-O VAM-1B ANACS 63 (a serious sleeper of a great clash, weak central strike though - typical of the date) 1890-O VAM-9A PCGS MS63 (finest known to me)

I havent posted in awhile, I've been inundated with diapers...but anyways
Here's a sampling of some recent acquisitions...
I scalped a nice raw 1878-s Vam 27 Long nock....I estimate it to be in XF/AU range This is probably one of the nicest Long Nocks I've picked to date. Paid $22 bucks for it.
A nice 1888-o Vam 1A, certified SGS MS65, on the relative cheap. $66 bucks
Also, my first 78-s Vam 49 Funky Feather. Raw BU-ish. $20 bucks
All in all, not bad for the last couple of months...although, my pickin' has slowed down considerably.

Nice job by everyone,keep it going. A few of my recent finds: 1889-O Vam 13F,New Discovery,MS 1887-P Vam 1C,NGC MS 64 1884-P Vam 2A,clashed "E" Raw AU 1921-P Vam 51A,Banner A,NGC MS 64 and for PEACEMAN,1923-P Vam 1AA,X-TRA hair,raw MS
First vam for awhile; saw some ebay pics what I thought was a 21-D capped s; turned out to be a 1G. Now I already have a 1g LDS but this appears to be an ultra late die state, with breaks I don't see on my other example. (I'll start a thread on this)
The S which has the main break also has a horn on the back of it:
This pic it is hard to tell but there is a tilted field around the 1st S in states:
The cracks between the A and M appear large enough (in my non-expert opinion) to be considered breaks, especially on the back of the R.

My possible 1878 7TF V123 ... was not.
PCGS gave me an "altered surface" on my 1880-O V49 that looked MS61 to me (evidently it had a quick bath in the jewelry cleaner).
I did get an XF40 from PCGS on my 1878 8TF V9 that kept me from shooting the neighbors.
But I still keep at it ... what's wrong with me?

and for PEACEMAN,1923-P Vam 1AA,X-TRA hair,raw MS
I just received it in the mail, and its actually better than I thought. I estimate a high AU, with an outside shot at MS.
Definitely a keeper, and I believe nice enough to be graded by any TPG....YES!!!!
