[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2233479, member: 1765"]The 1921-D Morgan dies seemed more prone to neat die breaks than those of the other mints. Could be they were more brittle as a result of Denver's hardening process. By contrast, 1921-S dies typically just turned to goo when they wore out, producing the worst detailed coins of the series. Anyway, 1921-D die breaks were actually what caused VAMWorld to be created. Rob Joyce did a book "Fun with 1921" in 2003 that featured these die breaks, which then caused many more to be discovered as people paid attention to them. Rather than update the book, he created a wiki, VAMWorld, that could more easily be kept up to date.
