=1921-D VAM-1G Die Break 2nd S of STATES= Discovered by Jeff Oxman, September 1999 1G(revised) IV 1 · D2a (Die Break S, Damaged Denticles) (189) Obverse IV 1– Small circular depressions next to denticle spaces above IBU with slightly longer denticle spaces than normal adjacent ones. Die probably damaged at denticle edge which pushed them in and up on die. Reverse D2a– Heavy die cracks thru tops of STATES OF AMERICAS letters. Small die break at top of second S in STATES. DPIS – In 1921 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # The 1921-D VAM-1G has a spectacular die break on the reverse through the second S of STATES. Three different spikes have grown out of the top of the S. One die break emerges from the upper left side pointing back at the E. Another break curves out of the top and swoops to the right like a small hook. A final die break comes from the top and meets up with the serif. While other Morgan varieties exhibit breaks on this S, there is no other that matches it for its intricacy.
