I'm not an expert with VAM's but here is a link about them that SsuperDdave put together.

I'm not sure what more to say or do to help so maybe he will be able to give some input.

that link helped me a lot to understand the different phantoms but my question was more of a dentacle I didn't see anything about dentacles in the link and I haven't been able to get any information on that
Rest in Peace

I think the VAMworld listing for the 1G says it all. If you are seeing more than the field indentations around the denticles (I cannot tell from your photo) perhaps the die has chipped away in this area during use. If you want more definitive answers I suggest you wait for SsuperDdave to post and/or post this on the VAMworld message board. Interesting die pairing nonetheless.

It's okay. We all were there at one point.

Not at all. Answering questions is what we're here for.

Someone should be able to give you more insight given more time to show up here and reply. I wish I could offer more help; I'm interested to see what this turns out to be.

This coin is an early die state (EDS) of VAM-1G. The second S in STATES shows the beginning of the die break characteristic of the VAM:

Yeah, all of the 1921 VAM detail pages here at CCF are coins I've owned.

Click those links. It's all explained there - the breaks, the denticles, everything.

Like most 1921 varieties - these are a bit of an obsession for me if you hadn't noticed - this one does not earn extra value until higher Mint State grades. 1921 production was so huge, and the dies pushed so hard, that even the wilder-looking varieties are pretty "common." With few exceptions the coin needs to be at least MS64 to attract attention as a variety.
