I believe this one to be a VAM 1J. Any thoughts, confirmations or other ideas? As always, greatly appreciated....   Please note these are the sellers photos.. I'll shoot it again once I have it in hand. Edited by srs77 08/08/2015 8:16 pm

Nice coin and looks like a LDS to me. Any dollar coin with a Cud is a great find. nlp

Besides the confirmation of 1J I'd also like to hear what everyone thinks of a grade for this one...

AU53ish, maybe MS60 on the upside. Tough call from the seller's photos. Nice Morgan regardless.

I don't know - the luster looks pretty good to me. I'd say possibly 58 up to maybe 63.

Keep in mind, 1J is the latest of late die states. This is a very_worn die pair and will not be striking any brilliant coins any longer. That said, I still have it at AU55.

As long as you're OK with them never being worth a ton of money, 1921's have more character, more legit errors and more meat for academic numismatics than any other Morgans, 1878 included.

At one point about 8 years back, I had over 100 separate 1921 VAMs in stock. Got pretty silly for a while there until I realized I was broke.

Some interesting close ups of the reverse on this one. Really neat coin...    SsuperDdave, they just obliterated these dies in 1921... Really neat to see...
