Fine die scratches in various directions on over polished tail feathers to the right of eagle’s right leg and between a eagle’s left wing and body. ''Die marker'' - Single diagonal line at lower left outside of eagle's right leg. DPIS – In 1921 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # VAM-2B is characterized by a die break at top left of M in UNUM on the obverse of the coin. A large amount of metal is pushed into this break, making this variety a nice example of a characteristic 1921-D die break. Since the publication of "Fun With 1921" this coin has emerged as one of the tougher coins to locate, especially in mint state condition. Late die state coins with the raised metal over the M, rather than just an outline, are much more desirable. # The date, like other VAM-2 coins, is doubled along the tops of the 92 in the date.
