nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 01/11/2016 8:02 pm At the suggestion of a mod I have cross posted here. maybe I have a super rare VAM lol So I see stuff in pictures I don't see in life especially when it comes to silver but this 1921D Morgan would appear to have a Die clash on the reverse. Can anyone confirm or deny this and does it add any kind of premium to the coin? Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/11/2016 8:34 pm I see the die crack. I like it. At least over 50% of the circumference, maybe more. I don't see the die crack on the reverse. But in both cases I see little or nothing as a premium. Some people like them; some don't. Report this Post to the Staff

twodsonegf Rest in Peace United States 637 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 12:02 pm Sorry, but I am not seeing any signs of clashing. Clashed coins generally do not carry any premium over unclashed coins, and some in fact prefer unclashed coins. Coins that are very heavily clashed do tend to carry some premium, with perhaps the most famous being the 1889-P VAM-23A http://www.vamworld.com/1889-P+VAM-23A. Another one of my favorites comes from the same series http://www.vamworld.com/1889-P+VAM-19B2 I would guess that if your coin was strongly clashed that you would be able to tell ;) Hopefully this helps!

twodsonegf Rest in Peace United States 637 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 12:04 pm Here is the link to the 1889-P VAM-23A again. The period carried into the link above so will not work unless copy and pasted into address bar without the period. Easier to just click the following link though ;) http://www.vamworld.com/1889-P+VAM-23A Report this Post to the Staff
airgem Valued Member Australia 369 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 3:15 pm I see evidence of a die clash to the right of o of of. Plenty of minor die cracks too on both sides. To the enthusiast it is very nice. To the non-believer a bit of a yawn. Maybe a 10% premium is probably all you could expect. Report this Post to the Staff
twodsonegf Rest in Peace United States 637 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 3:26 pm That appears to be Post-mint damage to me. That area of the coin does not typically end up clashed, unless of course the dies were misaligned when they clashed. There are VERY few examples of misaligned die clashes in the Morgan series.

srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3124 Posts	Posted 01/13/2016 11:13 am I love the 21d's.. They are the 'crackiest' and most fun to try to attribute. Here's mine with VAM attribution.. VAM 1T VAM 8A VAM 1B1 VAM 1AT VAM 1H2 VAM 1B1 VAM 1N VAM 1L2 VAM 1Q VAM 1N (EDS) VAM 1J They're fun trying to attribute them. Just a fun series to collect for sure. Be sure to visit vamworld and look at the die crack guides. Will point you in the right direction on yours. Edited by srs77 01/13/2016 11:14 am Report this Post to the Staff
