Great photo on those rim cuds under the date. The double rim above B E R was probably caused by a slightly misaligned obverse die. Sweet purchase Tom !

Very nice long planchet crack ! VAM 3X exhibits a prominent displaced field break at eagle's left wing tip in late die stage.

@RogerRock So it's a B3 rev 3 hills branch touching foot. I'm starting at 1W. Thanks. Peace Roy

Great return ! Draped Bust Dollars are a favorite.

Good Job! THANKS David ! Hope you surveyed the 1923 D VAM 1B2 VLDS photos posted on the Page. That new rim die break connecting with the field break left of ONE is the primary reason for my submission. The displaced field break right of Y (LIBERTY) was just a side note. I was hoping to achieve a 1B...

Impressive die breaks! Great Pick Tom.
