1921-P Baffled... Help On This VAM!

This one may take a little effort, so I want to make sure we are all on the same page. First, I need to make sure that my coin is the same VAM as SRS77's.





Then I need to show that SRS77's is of a later die state.


Then, we'll want as many eyes as possible. If you have a similar coin or are searching the data base at http://www.vamworld.com/1921-P+VAMs , you may want to be aware of these other features. Also note that lighting can change the appearance considerably.







Keep in mind that dies can change over time. So it is entirely possible that these dies were separated and re-paired, either before or after this marriage. Further, shallow scribbles can wear of, and less likely at this cracked die stage, scribbles can be added.








What did I miss?

Terrific work, Chute. You have the priorities nailed, and it sure looks like the same die pair. What's that on the wing at the end of "trust?"

Not the new lens, hasn't arrived yet - that will be for close ups. The lens used here will actually capture a full slab.
Yes I believe this example is an earlier die state, not so cracky.
I think that wing thing was tone over dirt. then the dirt fell off. I know - could make for a real hoax.

They won't find anything you didn't, Chute. The reality is, not all Morgans can be attributed and we've found one here. The corollary is, "how much can you trust the guy who's certain?" They may be basing it on incomplete or inaccurate information themselves.

Except messydesk, of course. If what he says disagrees with what's published, you change what's published.

We're not done. It needs to go to John Baumgart (mesydesk) at Variety Slabbing Services. If you are motivated, send it out and keep us informed. Or I could. I have others that need identification. Maybe I should post them here, and if they remain a mystery, I can submit several to John.

Your next package to VSS would come back "return to sender" un-opened.
