Description
1921-P VAM-1AB Scribbling Die Scratches Discovered November 8, 2007, by Raymond Roberts 1AB IV 1- D1a (Scribbling Die Scratches) (180) Reverse-D1a- Fine die scratches in various directions on over polished tail feathers around eagle's right leg. Die marker- Single horizontal polishing line below right wreath ribbon. DPIS – In 1921 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. Emission Sequence Obverse: Reverse: Comments: Scribbling Scratches Varieties are numerous & difficult to photograph. Many existing varieties include scribbling scratches features on the tailfeathers in addition to their primary features (pick up points). When possible, we will attempt to show non-scribbling scratches die features to help w/ attribution. Some of the new scribbling scratches varieties have been eliminated as early die states of known VAMs for which the die breaks, etc. have not yet formed, & more will likely follow.
