Re: 1880-S Radial Die Break - New VAM?
You would have to be crazy to mess with the Johns and LVA!
Your combined knowledge demands respect.
I will definitely start a new thread if it gets out of hand.
I appreciate the way this ship is run.
(I keep looking for a leak but can't find one that you haven't already pointed out.)

Re: 1880-S Radial Die Break - New VAM?
I think so...
(I am assuming a displaced field is not necessary in this.)

Re: what's with this S? (1921-P)
@alefzero
I just couldn't let this slide beneath without a request for a few more photographs from Dennis..
Is this a die scratch? I did have a question also:
What are the differences between MM and any other device once it is on the working die?
