Click on the Bean Bottom S VAMworld page for links to the other bean bottom VAMs. # This may be related to (perhaps double or triple listed as...) 1921-D VAM-13 and 1921-D VAM-11A. # Take note of the size of the bean in the lower serif of the "S", but also the cracks between the "E" and the "S", which are similar but distinct from other bean bottom "S" varieties.
