Comments: # Revised to add scribbles from former VAM 1CD # The former http://www.vamworld.com/1921-D+VAM-1AC, was Eliminated, same dies as 1921-D VAM-1BG. # In this variety, a crack on Liberty’s neck has advanced to the point that a small amount of metal expanded into a break. Hard to find because of the size, it takes a eagle's eyes to locate a VAM like this! Additionally, there is a small break in the lower left of the 2nd L of DOLLAR.
