Then under my loop I notice that the T & S have strong doubling on tops which may account for the E looking off?... So what do u think about that area?... Now to VAM, which one? Is that doubling a pickup? Also, I see NO die cracks ANYWHERE if it helps... let me know if u need close pics on any areas. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Look at the differing color of the toning right where the doubling exists - the metal has a different character, caused by the stutter-strike, which caused it to tone in a different pattern than the surrounding area. I'm more interested in the rim crumbling at 5:00 obverse and what looks like a die crack above the AT in STATES. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 03/19/2015 3:04 pm Man, I didn't even notice the rim dave what's the deal with that and YES there is a crack from the denticles above middle of ST down to the A tip then stright-on to the left T tip then up. Also from right top T to top corner of E and right top of E to top S (with what looks like a small die chip in the crack just past the A) Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/19/2015 5:21 pm Rim crumbling is relatively common on 1921's since they pushed production so hard, and not unusual to see it here. It may or may not be a known late die state of an identified VAM. With the other evidence, I'm working on that. Report this Post to the Staff
