<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 116771, member: 4920"]Well, sure enough, I’m looking through the archives, and I see all this discussion and excitement about these VAMs, and so, naturally, I ask myself, what the heck are these little buggers? And so, sure enough, that leads me to a web page, and now I’m looking through these 1921-D VAM varieties (such as the infamous “VAM-1AD (Old JOH-1) Beanie S–Die break top S in STATES,” etc.), and so, naturally, I decided to look at my 1921-D, just to see if I can’t get lucky and it fits any of these. And, sure enough, it didn't. But, determined, I kept on searching, and, lo and behold, I came across another VAM web page...and, there it is, big as life, my 1921-D, the newly discovered (well, as of April of 2004, anyhow) “1921-D VAM-1AS Die Breaks 3rd Left Star & 92" (rarity: 2 stars on a scale of 5)! I was so excited, I almost choked! Now, as I don’t have a digital camera (sorry), you’ll have to bear with me and go here for a reasonable facsimile of my 1921-D with this exciting variety from this mint that only coined silver dollars for one year until it obviously figured out the heck with these darn things the dies break so much!...but, I digress): <a href="http://www.rjrc.com/vams/1921d_vam1as.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.rjrc.com/vams/1921d_vam1as.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.rjrc.com/vams/1921d_vam1as.htm</a>. The VAM I have is an earlier version of the “1921-D VAM-1AS Die Breaks 3rd Left Star & 92" (rarity: 2 stars on a scale of 5), as the imperfection hadn’t yet extended to the “Left Star.” So, OK, just one question, now what? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
