I know of a few others that are scribbles varieties including 1AR and 1X.....There is probably a whole slew of others as well......(I really think that if another 1X is found, it will be found through the scribbles, and will cause a revision to either the newly found or the existing die state)....I truly believe that anyone who is searching for the next 1X, is wasting their time looking for a big hulking Cud.....

Trouble is, the only known 1X is circulated. Worse, as you might understand, it's a pretty weak strike. If there are scribbles, they're probably long gone or never struck anyways.

There are two fascinating features on that coin, though, which will probably be relevant to the identification of another example, pre-cud. There's a characteristic crack from the first two stars to below the 1 in the date. Second, the I in UNITED is missing the top serifs, while the adjacent letters are fully-formed. I think this is an unrelated incident to the die.

There are currently 81 1921-D varieties which are titled "Scribbling Scratches" only, and many more which mention them.

Thanks Dave! Does 1cb give the coin any extra value in today's market?

Nope, not really. Too little information regarding rarity, and too little demand.

It's one of those ones I always recommend to hold at least for the middle term - 5 or 10 years - while VAMming shakes itself out. The VAM collector base may never reach the size where true rarity generates its' own demand, but maybe it will, too....
