Morgan 1921-D Help For Identification VAM

I should know this one off the top of my head, but I don't.

No time to sit down and attribute due to work. See you this afternoon for this one.

This one's an odd duck. The obverse says one thing, the reverse another. I have EDS & LDS 1L's and 1H's in my personal image library, and those lower reverse cracks through DOLLAR disqualify both.

Have a look here, Somine:

I believe your obverse die cracks may be a match to what's listed there. That does not mean the task of attribution is finished; far from it. I'm not sure we can't combine a couple of known VAMs with your coin yet.

The location and progression of the die cracks must be exact. Their relative strength does not; I believe your coin to be a later die state and the cracks might be stronger than the example I linked. But if a crack is there on both, it must be in precisely the same location.

We'll go from there.
