1921D VAM-1M Horned O in OF +
Break at top of S
Discovered by Herb Zepke, September 2000 (Desirability:
 )
Condition Census: 65N, 64N, 63A, 63A, 63R, (Total: 12 MS, 27 Circ.)
On the VAM-1M, a die break has deformed the last S in states, adding
metal above the upper serif. .
Additional breaks are seen at the top left and right of the O in OF
giving it small horns. These horns are slightly less pronounced than the
VAM-1V and the late die state VAM-1F
which are different “Horned O” varieties. There is also a thin
die scratch emerging from the denticles toward the F in OF, disappearing and
then reemerging out the bottom of the F.
Extensive radial cracking
can also be seen across almost a third of the reverse, connecting the tops
of many letters.
