1st Weekend find....asking 1921-D VAM ID Help

This will be the first of a few finds this past weekend in the 1921-D Morgan VAM family. Any help with the ID would be appreciated. I think it could be VAM-1P but I'm not sure. Ideas on ID and possible grades welcome. Thanks for the help.

Looks like a great example of a VAM-1P to me too. It appears like AU to me. The '21 branch mints are hard to grade on images because the strikes are almost uniformly lousy. This specimen certainly doesn't have the worst strike though. An attractive, original coin. Good find.
