Can anybody tell me what it is, and if it has any added value?

A google search does not bring up much...only a reference to the Zerbe proof and I do not think that is what I have.

ok, I looked it up and I do not believe it is a zerbe proof coin,but it is either a VAM-1, VAM-3, VAM-12 or VAM-13. It will have 17 berries in the wreath and 3,12 and 13 have tripling on the Reverse, so if it has tripling features you know its one of those 3 VAM's. If you can post some pictures we have a resident 1921 Expert that will be able to tell you just about everything you want to know about your coin

Hello and thanks for the reply here are some pic's. Seems to be a little over graded IMO.

well I don';t think its a VAM-13, I can't see if it has an y doubling on the right stars like the VAM-12 so that is a possibility I guess. A VAM-1 would be a Zerbe Proof and even though I am not saying this is not one I would need pictures straight on instead of an angle and would need to see the stars better (especially on the right side of the date) to either confirm or eliminate a VAM-12

also if you could take a close up picture of the "OF" in "IN GOD WE TRUST" I would be able to eliminate VAM-3 also. So we know its not a VAM-13, we need better pictures to determine if its a 12 or a 3 and if its not one of those two the Zerbe proof would be the only one listed I can find that may have that Breen number. If it turns out to be a Zerbe proof it may be worth a little more than any of the others. I am not real familiar with 1921 VAM's so this is just a guess

Breen 5704 describes the 17-berry D1 reverse generally - it does not specify any particular VAM or variety of that reverse. So, this coin could be any one of the large number of known D1 VAMs. I don't see any standout features of a known VAM; chances are a pretty minute examination of the coin would be necessary to figure the variety. Either way, it's almost certainly not an added-value VAM. With that said, much clearer pics would be required.

Knowing the general mushiness of 1921 strikes, I don't think AU55 is out of the question for this coin.
