1921D VAM-1AU Die Gouge N of ONE

Discovered by John Kohut, May 2004 (Desirability:  )

Condition Census: 63R, 45R (Total: 1 MS, 1 Circ.) * New discovery, not an accurate census yet

This variety has a long, thin die gouge through the lower right of the N in ONE proceeding upward to touch the corner of the E.  The VAM-1AU die gouge has proven to be very elusive with only two coins reported in the years since 1921-Ds became a hot VAM collectable.  More will surface but the author believes this will continue to be a tough coin to find.

In addition to the die gouge on the reverse, there is a small die break on the bottom of the 9 in the date.
