I found this coin RAW at a local coin shop in NH. It is in nice shape and I was able to capture the coins characteristcs rather well in the picture below. What are your thoughts? Possible garde?

1V IV 1 • D2a (Die Break O) (189) I-2 R-6
Reverse D2a– Small die breaks at top left and right of O in OF. Different than VAM 1M die break.

Sure does look like 1921-D VAM-1V "Die Break O" to me too. Nice find. Grading from a picture is difficult, but I'd guess AUish. Beautiful pictures by the way.

The fields look good. I do not see any wear, from the picture. I would grade it MS63? -Dan

Coin has virutally no wear in the fields. Anyone know if there is a premium for this VAM designation?

That coin could be a very high end 58, but I would wager it is a 63 or 64. Very nice find, and equally as good pictures!!! I agree with your attribution, too.

Well done...Mike
