DPIS – In 1921 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # This variety may be double-listed as the 1921-D VAM-11A. Examine the photo below for a line between the "u" in "Trust" and "O" in "OF." It seems that this is the same die gouge as in 1921-D VAM-11A. May also be related to 1921-D VAM-5B, but 5B does not have the O gouge. Study is in progress. (2012) # 1921-D VAM-13A is a "Bean Bottom S" variety, but 1921-D VAM 13 is not (scroll down for details).
