Is Coin VAM 1K2?

    I bought a 1921D Morgan dollar which I thought was VAM 1K2 since it has the broken star on the front and there is a die break in one of the denticles on the back of the coin. However, in VAMWorld for the VAM 1K2 it states "Later die state have a connecting die crack at left side of third star with displaced field." There does appear to be a die crack coming from the third star and a displaced field being formed in the triangle but they don't have any pictures of this in VAMWorld so I am not totally sure. Is this coin a VAM 1K3 or is it still considered a 1K2?

    Post a better picture of the left stars. There is a bit too much shadow.

    As long as the 5th star has the die break, it's vam 1K2 .
    Which it does .

    But if it has a die break on the 3rd left star it's a 1K3. I'm sure it's at least a 1K2 and probably a LDS example based on the displacement above the D...

    I'm sure @messydesk could shed some light.
