1921-D VAM-1AI In God We Rust #2 Discovered July 2003 by Michael S. Fey, PhD, (Desirability: 1AI IV 1 · D2a (Filled T to form rust) (189) Reverse D2a– Die fill in first T of Trust to make it almost completely missing. DPIS – In 1921 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. Emission Sequence Obverse: Reverse: Comments: This variety is the second “In God We rust” variety found on a 1921-D die. The coin has the same filled letter T in the motto as VAM-9A. The coins missing letters are extremely collectable. Even people that do not collect die varieties on coins can appreciate the impressive visual of a partial word like “rust”. Pull out a missing letter VAM and you are sure to find interested viewers. In 10/2021 it was determined that 1921-D VAM-1EO is a duplicate listing of this die pair, but without the filled 't' in "trust". As filled dies are no longer listable as distinct VAMs, the description of VAM 1EO will likely be rolled into VAM 1AI.
