nlp coins Pillar of the Community United States 2373 Posts	Posted 10/29/2009 7:29 pm Picked this up today and thought to myself, piece of cake! I didn't realize how many or difficult this would be on the 1921. There are so many cracks on the reverse that I'm lost. Can anyone sift through the die cracks on this coin? If not no worries, I have a headache from it. nlp 1921 Obv Rev Rev, top view of several cracks on both wings, neck line clash,crack from D thru wing tip to rim, crack from wreath thru wing to OF. Rev, crack across the top of STATES Rev, OF and wing crack Rev, left wing close up of wreath thru wing crack. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 10/30/2009 09:45 am None of the cracks, on their own, are large enough to cause a variety designation. I don't see any of the other pickups which would make attribution easy for this coin; at this point it's down to the painstaking, microscopic examination of potential doubling through stars, date and legends. Only fun if you're obsessive. Do you have another Morgan to compare the reeding? If the reed count on this coin is noticeably lesser than another Morgan, it's a feature we can get traction with.

I would add the reason those crack are not "listable" is because until a crack graduates to a break, it is just a die marker. So look for the full blown breaks, because the cracks do not count.

nlp coins Pillar of the Community United States 2373 Posts	Posted 10/30/2009 6:18 pm Thanks guys. I got the whole stack of 21's out and looked through them and found several similar to this one and a couple with worsened conditions also. This coin does not have the wide reeding. The bright side was I found a VAM4 and VAM3B. Woohoo! I'll get some pics up later. nlp Report this Post to the Staff
