1921 Morgan dollar from the San Francisco mint, This Morgan in question has a very strange curiosity. When I started looking at the VAM of that year to identify it, I got confused about the mint and I started looking at the Philadelphia VAM, and at first glance I found it to be a match, VAM3...but of course, the dollar is not from Philadelphia, it is from San Francisco, and in its corresponding VAM list that variant does not appear¿? So is it a San Francisco dollar with a variant of the Philadelphia mint? Why? Judge for yourselves.     *** Edited by Staff to clarify the topic title.

I don't see a MM from San Francisco on your coin.
Why do you say it's from the San Francisco mint?
EDIT: Also, how many berries are in the wreath on your coin?
(I can't make them out on your coin.)
Second Edit: That doesn't look like an "S" under the wreath.
Can you give us a closeup of the area under the wreath?

Look at the things I have marked up on your coin. If you pay attention to these things when you start attributing a coin, it will narrow down the number of VAMs you have to go through.  -makecents-

Yeah, can definitely confirm that is a San Francisco mint on there... Actually all three mints from 1921 have that same exact spike coming off the OF...  |

Once again, be sure to bookmark the link I gave you on the other thread you started. It will help you greatly. Most of the date/mm will separate the VAMs into categories that will help you narrow them down to a much smaller number to look through.
