<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 4958594, member: 1765"]I just took a look at this on the VAM 3BV page. It doesn't refer to the coin in the Smithsonian being a Chapman proof, but says that the obverse die matches the Chapman. Lots of funny stuff going on in 1921 surrounding some of these coins. The Smithsonian coin may have been made much later than the Chapman to fill another order for 1921 proof Morgans. The article mentioned (in VAMView 14) goes into a little more detail, but at the end of the day, is still speculative as to how the Chapman obverse and D2 reverse coin at the Smithsonian that appears to be a proof came to be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
