This is the first one of these I've tried to identify so I'll do my best. The doubling looks the same as the one I saw on Vamworld. The coin is worn so identifying the markers is difficult. The letters will start at the R in AMERICA. The doubling on the R is convincing. Here's a few pics, what do y'all think!!

This is the R I'm referring to.

The die cracks - which should be the first stop for anyone new to attributing 1921's - rule out VAM-3C immediately. The reason to avoid having to depend on doubling unless you have to is, there is so_much similar doubling on 1921's that it's virtually impossible to tell many of them apart factoring die wear.

However, yours has a smoking-gun die crack setup which allows attribution just from the 1921-P D2 Die Crack page: VAM-68. It's up to you to determine whether or not it has the beveled field at OF qualifying it for VAM-68A. That's difficult to photograph.

Thanks super Dave. I'm just looking to this on the coins I have and it is much more complicated than I imagined.

Turns out it is the vam68 and I have two of that variety. The other is I better condition. Are these considered rare or carry any premium?

Nope. Don't forget, VAMming is not about simply identifying "premium" varieties - its' aim is to identify every die pair still extant. There are thousands identified already, and more almost every day.
