Two 1921 D 5E "Bean S" LDS & VLDS?

Post by jrfaust » Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:38 pm

Just recently I've been sucked into the 21 D rabbit hole ;) ( Thanks @DHalladay :lol: )
I usually try to stay away from 21's for the most part, but, I probably have more freakin 21's than any other Morgan. :roll:
I'm really starting to get hooked on the 21 D's, love all the die breaks and cracks. Again, THANKS Dennis! :P
Ok, I've got two 21 D V5E's with the Bean S 1st coin matches the Vam Page perfectly. The 2nd coin matches the Vam Page but with more pronounced die cracks/breaks. LDS vs VLDS, or would this qualify for a new listing, say V5E1?
@DHalladay @vampicker @messydesk any thoughts?
Anyone?
Here are comparison photo's.

There are more cracks on on 2nd coin but the one shown are the most pronounced.
Thanks again for any feedback and comments :D :popcorn:

I don't think I'd add a listing for the development of die cracks as shown. There would have to be a new, larger break somewhere to qualify. If you find one without the "bean" breaks inside the S, then that would also qualify. Dennis recently sent me and early and late version of VAM 5C that resulted in a new listing for that reason.

Thanks John! So, would you consider this a VLDS?

It's later than the one without the crack. Just how late, it's hard to say. "Very late" is typically reserved for a die that is long overdue for retirement, so I would say that it's a late die stage.
