Theoretically possible.
But our confident conclusion is there is no such thing as a 9A.
Instead, PCGS parroted an existing (pre-scribbles era) attribution that had been given for an eye-catching characteristic (filled letter) rather than for coins produced by a unique identified die pair. Not long after, BTW, the assignment of new VAMs on the basis of filled letters was halted.
If PCGS is still giving out VAM 9A attributions (which I'm pretty sure hasn't happened in years), they're doing it without looking at scribbles -- and my bet is every one of them is wrong.

Have you contacted or sent the PCGS attributers with this updated information?
Re: 1921-d vam 9A
Heavens no. We're just collectors, so we don't know anything about anything. Worse yet, we're VAM collectors, which also makes us just clueless, whining idiots that should be tuned out and ignored.78-sLongnock wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 12:03 pmHave you contacted or sent the PCGS attributers with this updated information?
PCGS is the Supreme Authority In All Coin Things. It doesn't listen to anyone other than itself (there have been instances when it wouldn't listen to Leroy Van Allen about VAM attributions!) and it certainly never makes mistakes, right?
Oh wait... there was that big counterfeit Micro-Os fiasco back in 2005, wasn't there?
When in doubt... don't.
