DPIS – In 1921 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # VAM 1AH has a small break filling the upper serif on the first S in STATES. Unique cracks can be seen coming off the left side of the S and from the top of the S out to the denticles. A horizontal crack also runs from the S to the T. On nice later state examples, the field area to the left of the S is actually raised above the rest of the coin’s field. # Early die stages attributable from scribbling scratches high up onto the lower part of the eagle's breast. # Small dot between the F and left wing has been found on both EDS and LDS coins.
