[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2694738, member: 1892"]The vast majority of 1921 Morgans were minted using a collar of 189 reeds. For some reason a very few (relatively speaking) were struck with a collar of 157 reeds, the lowest reed count of any Morgan. These are referred to as Infrequent Reeding 1921's. Yours is one of them. I believe it to be VAM-25A: [URL='http://www.vamworld.com/1921-P+VAM-25A']http://www.vamworld.com/1921-P VAM-25A[/URL] In your images above, I saw the telltale gouging at the edge of the denticles, above the first S in STATES and the F in OF. [ATTACH=full]605201[/ATTACH] You're not exactly going to retire on the proceeds, but it's a variety of additional interest and liquidity, and it'll sell at a premium. Not a bad cherrypick for someone who doesn't know VAMs yet. :)[/QUOTE]
