    I dont see an error but.....
    I believe you have Vam 3DO
    Google it and see if the markers/breaks/cracks match your coin.
    Let us know if its a match.

    Gotcha. It's not an error. It is however, a VAM. But, so is every Morgan and Peace Dollar. A VAM number is how die pairings and states are classified for the Morgan and Peace Dollar series. One thing to remember though, VAM's are not specific to die marriages, a coin can have multiple die pairings yet still remain the same VAM. Think of it more along the lines as a descriptor die scratches, cracks, states, etc...

    Use this link to help you attribute your Morgan Dollar. It's the easiest way to check 1921 VAM's. This one is specifically for your reverse type, the D2 reverse. Look at the die cracks on the obverse and match them to one of the photos. Then go into that specific VAM and see if the rest of the die markers match.

    Had a look at the site very cool stuff,the nearest I could find was 1921 p vam 3k2 die break in left stars.Again this is something I didn't notice when buying the coin on eBay.I had just watched a video on YouTube about top ten vams and thought I would take a look at my Morgan's and ended up finding one with cuds and this one .It just shows that with a bit of info and help cool errors can be found.I only have five Morgan's in my collection.I got some luck at last.Thanks
