I'm sure it is a listed VAM, the trouble is finding it.

I don't understand the problem, you bought the coin and now you don't like it because of the die cracks??

They (the die cracks) are actually not considered errors. They are simply part of the minting process as dies wear and age.

@silverpop go have a look on VAM World. You'll be able to figure it out there.

The die cracks don't bother me, at all.
But, the heavily bag-marked cheeks do.

bag marks are just part of what makes the coin more interesting as it has most likely seen some use in it's 100 or more yrs as a silver coin used in the old west
seeing i'm not making myself clear all i want is to know is this a VAM and what # nothing else

Every Morgan is a VAM. Do the research and reap the reward.

I used to be addicted to finding 21 D VAMS about 15 years ago after I bought the Fun with 21 book. I have dozens of different ones. I used to search photos on eBay and cherry pick them. I’m really rusty on them now, but it’s most likely 1921-D VAM-1I2

I like it - die cracks add character -
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
i'll just say a possible VAM and leave it at
as for VAM's i'm clueless about those

It seems @Mr_Spud may have identified the VAM for you.... Neat die cracks. Cheers, RickO
If you want a coin that’s seen some use, I’d look for an AU or a dirty XF. It’s possible this coin saw some very light circulation, but there’s a reason they’re called bag marks… good chance most came from the coin being unused and tossed around in a bag.
