<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2248759, member: 1892"]VAMs are the variety identifiers for Morgan Dollars, similar to Overtons for Bust Halves and Shendons for early copper, etc. The names of the two gentlemen who began the effort back in the Sixties (and earlier individually), Leroy Van Allen and A. George Mallis, form the acronym "VAM." Here's yours:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.vamworld.com/1921-D+VAM-1F" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vamworld.com/1921-D+VAM-1F" rel="nofollow">http://www.vamworld.com/1921-D+VAM-1F</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The die cracks are too fine to duplicate by any copying method. This is a really interesting variety to someone like me who is interested in 1921 Morgans, but not at all uncommon. That is part of the interest to me. The Mint was pushed so hard to create these in their millions that they pushed dies long past the end of their realistic life. It led to some spectacularly cracked dies, like these. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
