1921D VAM-1AK Vertical Die Gouge E of ONE

Discovered by Rob Joyce, August 2003 (Desirability:  )

Condition Census: 63N, 62S, 62R, 62R, 50R (Total: 4 MS, 1 Circ.) 

VAM-1AK can be attributed by locating a small vertical die gouge at the top left of the E in ONE.  This reverse gouge is broad and shallow, and will be hard to locate on worn, circulated coins.  This variety has turned out to be  a very hard variety to locate with few coming to might.  This variety is the fourth 1921-D discovery of a die gouge passing through the E in ONE. The other gouges are VAM-1U, VAM-1AA and VAM-1AL.

In May 2005, Larry Galbraith noticed that there is a dot above the 1 in the date.
