1921D VAM-1BK Die Scratch Between LL of DOLLAR

Discovered by Rob Joyce, March 2005 (Desirability:  )

Condition Census: 58R,  (Total: ? MS, 1 Circ.) * Discovery too new for an accurate condition census

VAM-1BK has a pair of small die scratches on the lower reverse.  Leroy Van Allen noted they were "marginal" to list because they were small and faint.  Since there were two distinct gouges he felt they should be catalogued and assigned a VAM number.   The first die scratch goes from the wreath to between the LL of DOLLAR.  A second small gouge is located down from the bottom of the the first L. 

On the discovery coin, the E in We was weak.  It is not as faint as the missing E on a VAM-1Z or VAM-1B2, but it is partially filled.

This coin also has strong die polish and a few die gouges in the wing:
