I haven't given up on trying to attribute this myself. I just need to know if this is doubling, Machine Doubling, or normal for a '21P? I'm looking at the bottom of the right leg, and the inside feathers above it. I'm having a hard time with this one. There's no scribblings, pitting, or extra berry.  |

Scooby, everything looks normal on this coin except for the ear. SuperDave should be able to help, he's much better on these 21s than me.

Quote: Coin Community appreciates your words so much, we repeated them for emphasis.  This is pretty much normal hub stuff for 1921, Scooby - the inner ear doubling may be a hint but nothing more than one marker on the way to an attribution. That's the problem with VAMming - after the obvious is eliminated, it becomes tedious and arcane. I'm guessing you've already eliminated Wide Reeding, so now it's time to look for doubling thru date, stars and lettering. |

MorgansRMine hollering from a mountaintop?  SuperDave, I believe I have ruled out the infrequent reeding. I only have one other '21 to compare it to, so I compared them to other years instead. They appeared fairly consistent. I'm having a hard time with both of them. Maybe they're just run of the mill? I might need your help afterall. One of them (the one pictured) has a light die crack in front of her face running throught the 3 stars up through the E. The other has no identifiable markers that I can identify. Maybe they are both just unassigned and weren't worth listing? Where do I go next? |

That'll work. Infrequent Reeding 1921's will have noticeably fewer reeds than just about any other Morgan. Quote:
Where do I go next? Now you go to VAMworld and slog down the list, VAM by VAM, comparing your coins. That's what I do when attributing Morgans here at CCF. |

That's what I've been doing. I guess I'll try again tonight. Gotta get ready for work.
