1921D VAM-1P Die Break ER of AMERICA

Discovered by Michael S. Fey, May 2001 (Desirability:  )

Condition Census: 65A, 64P, 64N, 63P, 63N, (Total: 14 MS, 20 Circ.)

The VAM-1P die break can be found as a small oval dot between the E and R of AMERICA.

Also on the reverse there is a very small die break coming off the T in STATES.

The U in Trust is "spiked" with a small and unusual die gouge.

In April 2005 Norm Salter noticed that on the Eagle's right wing there is a sizable gouge.

The date has extensive die cracks on the obverse showing just how far this die pair was pressed while it was in service.   A very long die crack runs through Liberty's eye, up through the hair, between the B and E of LIBERTY, past the headband, through the S in STATES and on to the rim!
