The drawn letters are a good point, zeewool, and ought probably be included in the research. It's my empirical view that 1921-S is more susceptible to these drawn letters - especially the date - than other issues, although such has been noted in many other years. This may be a parallel which lends weight to one theory or the other.
I still fall back into the dilemma that the die lines from the denticles have only been seen twice, in one year/mint issue.

Yes, that is why I speculate that there may have been a certain individual working at the SF mint in 1921 who was not working there 16 years earlier, and may have been responsible for the effect on both dies through personal judgment of die serviceability.

Verily. I wish it were possible (alas, not to be) for me to concentrate with sufficient single-minded ferocity as to determine just_what_the_heck they were actually doing in 1921.  However, in typical buckshot fashion, I will probably be doing something else on the single day in September during which I have access to the Mint Archives in Philly. |

Sincere wishes for luck in finding 'something' interesting if you are able to go there.  |

Something about the 'edge' of this coin really intrigues me. I really would like to hear some other thoughts about it. I think that Russ has some railroad rims. Maybe you could do some comparisons Russ? Do you think that this coin is a mini railroad rim ? Is there any beveling effect on your fully developed RRR?

Lou... if that bust is yours... you should send it to the http://www.traildies.com guy.  ... That bust could be worth something special to the right buyer. Though I am not into them Edited by remmy1100

Yes, any coin or bank note that I post a picture of belongs to me, unless I state otherwise. I don't sell coins, and have no interest whatsoever in value or profit. Those are die wear marks on the bust half, a dissimilar effect to trails on a LHC.

What about this VAM? What you think caused that? I have no clue and have not thought much about it. |
