The "Pompadour" die break is popular w/ collectors, & comes in high grades. This die break runs across the top of the T in STATES. Looking like a windswept hairdo, this unusual break has extended the upper left potion of the T. This funky styling of the T is the reason it was nicknamed “Pompadour.” # This variety is known w/ 2 different filled dies. The D in DOLLAR is illustrated below. The first 't' in 'trust' is also seen filled, making it easy to confuse this w/ 1921-D VAM-1AI or 1921-D VAM-9A.
