I didn't finish last night. Will take care of it soon. I want to be careful untying this so that it's accurate and so that the change history of the pages makes as much sense as possible.

Got it. Thank you!

@messydesk Why are the 89P V7 and V23 series VAM page listing not lining up with the September 2020 LVA letter and plate photos? Am I missing something?

Andy:
Yes to 3C1.

Does your coin have any pitting at LL ?
I have 2 examples... one with pitting at U and LL and D, and one with no pitting at any of those locations.

Yes, at the D and LL.

Please follow the link for pics to subject coin...no LFCP's yet. Just want to be sure if I VAM'd it right. I couldn't find a crack diagram for this VAM. Also, I don't see any pitting at the U of UNITED, but all the other markers are there. There is a little bit of pitting at the D of DOLLAR that's n...

I suspect these will be treated as a limited or special run. The mint does something similar periodically with ASEs, the mint order system crashes, then the product is no longer available. I've had this happen numerous times with the US Mint, even when I have enrollment set up for said coins. Then l...

The average collector will never get one from the Mint

Thanks Ron & Loren.

However, the coin shows a double clash line at the jawline and a single clash line a bit below it. Can I assume...

For the new listings, what does the "tentative" label mean in the supplement? I ask since the descriptive info at the pages does not match what's in the supp. Is there more info to come on these? I don't see that Omega symbol, Ω, for the new listings in LVA's key at the front of the supp. Thanks. Andy

nice coin-interesting--what set up do you use to get these great photos--thank you Thanks to all for the compliments on the pic. LOTS of great pics by other members on this board at the Vamworld wiki. I have a Canon DSLR with a 100mm macro lens set up on a modified Bausch and Lomb stereo microscope...

This would likely be in the working die when someone did repair or touch-up work. Denticles are part of the design and thus part of the hub. The subjects are discussed in From Mine to Mint , but I don't think this specific detail is mentioned. (I will put that on the list for FMTM-2.) May I use you...

One in the V36 series.
