1921 Vam 75a with broken planchet?

Im almost certain it is a VAM 75A but it is a reall late die state. These dies are about to fall apart. There a ton of craks and breaks that don't show up in the pics. I was looking through the junk box and almost passed it over because of what I thought to be damage. But on closer inspection it looked to be a broken planchet (if that is the right term to use). Is there any added value to something like this? I don't know how rare it is but it is pretty darn cool in my eyes. And REALONE I know I snapped at you last time and Im sorry bout that. But if you hate it just break it to me easy. My skin is hardening but not Quite there yet. Anyways here it is.

    Obviously, this is one of those cheap, chinese fakes. I'll take it off your hands for $10. ;o)

    I can't tell you the VAM number, but frankly, that coin is really cool. I would love to have it just for the planchet flaw alone! Nice find!

    I don't follow VAM's as close as I would like but that is a cool planchet flaw.

    Nice example of a cracked planchet. Value...$100 or better.

    How common are these things? I can't find much info on them!

    The cracked planchet is a legit error and not post-Mint damage. I have no idea what the VAM attribution might be.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I've got a broken planchet on a Peace dollar, but not as large as yours. Someone just the other day posted a similar one to my coin on here as well. I do not see them often, but when I remember, I do look for those as well as the rarer VAMs.
