1921-D Morgan VAM 1I - EDS & LDS

Meltdown

So yesterday a friend of mine with an antique shop called me and said he just purchased 5 random morgans from a customer.
He asked if I wanted them, I said sure and went over and purchased them.
I got the loupe out today just for fun and noticed two of the 21-D's had similar die cracks.
It looks to me that I have found both an early & late die state of the VAM 1I. -

I'm not a VAM expert by any means, but enjoy looking them up from time to time.
According to Vamworld...
(1I IV 1 D2a (Die Break N) (189) I-3 R-7 (The R-7 estimate given at time of discovery is incorrect. In practice the coin is R-5/R-6).

Still, What are the chances that I find two of them in a random stack of 5 ?

good to hear people are vamming

a tip, when attributing anything for die state/marriage, remember there are 2 sides to every coin

Very Cool find Congratulations

I have no idea what the odds are of finding two like that
out of a group of five but I really enjoy finding Morgan and Peace VAMS like that.
And seeing other people finding them also
Thank you for sharing that.

Nice find.

The R-7 guess from Leroy years ago has turned out to be very inaccurate - which is why you found two in one pile. 1921-D die breaks are however, very exciting and collectible. Keep your eye out there some spectacular and rare
ones out there.

Thanks for the input guys... The obverse diagnostics match up as well. I just didn't bother shooting them.
Mostly I thought it was cool to find two of the same in such a random 5 coin purchase.
