1921-D Morgan - filled die - IN GOD _ _ _ UST ?

How can I tell if this is a VAM 9A?
It has lots of crud. Too much to see tripled left stars.
I don't see any die cracks.
I do see the raised dot in the mouth, but is that unique to the VAM 9A?

From vamworld:

In addition to the filled letter T, the coin shares the features of a VAM-9: The date is doubled with both crossbars of the first and last one doubled at the bottom. The “9” digit is doubled at the top inside of both loops. The digit “2” is slightly doubled at top inside of upper loop and at the bottom of the upper ball. All the left stars are slightly tripled toward the rim. The first right star and the E of E PLURIBUS are slightly doubled toward the rim. Liberty's head and nose are also slightly doubled. Finally, there is a diagnostic die chip within Liberty’s mouth.

I don't see the chip in the mouth ??

All that damage to the area around there would have me second guessing as well.....

There's so much crud, I can't tell. I just put it in a glass jar with some acetone. Thanks for the info. I'll check the other diagnostics later. All I can see are lots of polishing lines in LIBERTY and around the cotton leaves/bolls.

If it turns out to be 9A, Rob and I both desperately need this one if you're selling! So, good luck!

I think I have a couple 9Bs, not 9As. They are the ones that a lot of the 5Bs are confused with I think.
