Is this a error??

Here is my 1921 Morgan as you can see the lines for the tail feathers do not run all the way down past the arrows in fact instead of there being 7 lines there are only 3

I see a die crack across the M.
Please explain your concern.

 

please have a look at the tail feathers....
there are 3 lines leading down from the body to past the arrows to the 3 feathers where as should there not be 4 more lines leading down to the other 4 tail feathers?
the other 4 lines are missing.

 

So the inner tail feathers have been polished away. You can look thru the VAM's for this year.

 

Ah, the white section. Thought it was light glare. PMD.

 

is it possible to just polish away 4 lines and leave the surrounding area unaffected?
all sop may i ask what are or is VAM's

 

the glare on the wing is from my lamp lol

 

All I see are 2 die cracks. One along the bottom of OF and the other from the rim to the M in AMERICA. I think you are talking about an overpolished Die.

Yes it's possible. An over polished Die can be a very small area and can affect just about anything.

ok and thank you all for your response and here I though I had found some thing unique.

 

My poor eyes finally found the issue. That's real cool and I think it will be listed. Going to check myself.
What is the date? How about a pic. of the obverse?

 

1921 S Morgan VAM - 1E is a nice example.
Didn't check any others.

 

thank you, took me awhile to figure out how to upload the photo

 

if you get the chance check out all the U and the M and the 2 please tell me what
you think extra Mettle or what?

 

I’m glad you figure out how to post a new thread.. you have some really good identifying marks to vam your come. It will take some time but you can do it...
