srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3239 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 5:20 pm PLEASE NOTE. FAIRLY LARGE IMAGES... Picked up yet another 1921-D Morgan. This, I believe is another 1B1 but would love confirmation. These 21s have some of the most fabulous die cracks. This one is no exception. Everyone's thoughts are appreciated. I have other closeups of the cracks but will put those in another post in this thread so you don't have to take the hit all in one post. Thank you for looking! Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 6:45 pm Edit, I was wrong... I must say that its the largest finger scrape I've seen if that's what it is Edited by Cascade 05/22/2015 8:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 7:18 pm It looks like a 1B1 LDS to me. It also looks like they call the scuff on the reverse die polishing not Feeder Finger Damage. @cascade, Feeder Finger Damage is in the die. The feeder fingers apparently had a tendency to become bent and scuff the anvil die while moving the planchets. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 8:28 pm 1B1 can be attributed from either face, as the crack from the chin with an intersecting crack into the neck is unique. And they, along with the crack through OF and the curious curved one through the D, all appear on EDS coins so you don't even need the break over the R to nail the attribution.
