I know there's a 1921 Morgan VAM 31 that has a meteor shower appearance.
I have this one who is showing that same diagonal pattern but on a huge surface that was attributed on another board to PMD OR die cleaning that is very common. Especially interesting to me is the line through and near her eye.
I cannot find any VAM that addresses the eye. Any thoughts?

The 2 lines thru/below the eye are significant in my opinion, and if this is an already-discovered 1921-P VAM they are likely described – but effectively buried in terms of easy visibility – somewhere on its attribution page. Scribbles are the go-to way to nail down an attribution or provide evidence for a new discovery. Do you have the capability of getting a very close closeup of the recessed areas on either side of the eagle's right (our viewing left) leg?
When in doubt... don't.

Thank you for the input and help. I attempted a better photo with zoomed in area. The last 2 on the original post are the new ones. FWIW, I thought I saw an "S" in the field by his right leg. But I've stared at coins so long the past few days I don't trust my eyes anymore.

When I said
very close closeup, I meant something like this. Pretty much everything else in the surrounding areas in your photos is meaningless.

Nice result on your first scribbles shot!

Looks like an asphalt parking lot scrape. Hard to tell from the photos.
What Alan said.
Are we sure these are raised? Looks like PMD.

Aside from VAM identification, you may want to address the green. Acetone is first, and I've had good results following up with Verti-Care.

Yes, the green stuff is disconcerting. I have read about acetone but wasn't sure if it was something I should try. Thank you for the suggestion.
