Revised 2008 4 (revised) IV1 - D2a (Dots on Reverse, Scribbling Die Scratches) (189) Reverse D2a- Small circular raised dot on field above left olive leaf cluster with smaller dot just to left of it. Additional very small dots at junction of eagle's wing and neck, on lower middle of eagle's right wing, in middle of eagle's sixth tail feather, and to left of arrow feather ends on field. Fine die scratches in various directions on over polished tail feathers around eagle’s right leg, between eagle’s left wing and body, and in middle of both wings''. ''Die marker''- Raised dot in field above left olive cluster and two heavy diagonal polishing lines at top 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: # February 2009 update: In response to a submission to potentially list the well-known 1921-D VAM-1D for scribbling scratches varieties, Leroy responded, "VAM-1D became VAM-4 with dot above olive leaves." Hence, it seems that the famous 1D is eliminated as the 1921-D VAM-4. # There is a listing for VAM-4A in the 'Scribbles Guide' that is the actual former VAM-1D. It didn't appear in the 2009 update however. # Text as per 2008 Scribbles Guide.
