Reverse D2a – Vertical die break in third leaf cluster from top of left wreath plus small die chip in top fourth leaf cluster from top. Earlier die state of VAM 12A. DPIS – In 1921 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # Large die break hidden in wreath near the U of UNITED. It is easy to overlook, but once located it is actually quite large. # When you've identified the reverse die break below, be sure to check the obverse features to determine if the coin is a 1921-D VAM-12A or a VAM-1AN. # The exact same reverse die was first used on VAM-1AP, then on VAM-1AN, then on VAM-12A, which can show much more break in the wreath and more die cracking.
