Late die state has small die chips on right sides of 9 & 2. DPIS – In 1921 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # This coin has a die break on the third left star, stretching the top left point twice the normal length. Considered by the author as a very interesting break, it is hard to see with the naked eye, but quite striking when viewed with magnification. # The VAM-6A designation was defined when Logan McKechnie discovered doubling on the bottom of the letters UNITED STATES OF AMERICA towards the center of the center. The variety also has very slightly tripled left stars towards rim. # A die crack also goes through the first left star from the neck and forms an X. 1921-D VAM-2B also shows a similar X below the neck.
