Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 10/06/2015 6:07 pm 1921 morgans were pounded out by the millions squared. Dies were used not to the point of failure but to the point that they just about literally exploded. This is why 1921's can almost be VAM attributed soley on their crack placements. Something not afforded to other years Report this Post to the Staff

Seriously though, be warNed that morgan and peace VAM identification is an extreemly addicting facet of numismatics if you get bit by the bug so be carefull and tread lightly... or go full force The book you want is called "The encyclopedia of morgan and Peace dollars" by Leroy Van Allen and George Mallis. ( VAM is an acronym for Van Allen-Mallis) the guys who started the whole thing and authors of the book I mentioned above Report this Post to the Staff
