I have so many urgent picture requests that this is at the bottom of my to do list. I got 6 more coins back from NGC unattributed, and david lange said, β looked at these coins, and they were either too minor, or not varieties at all.β I only sent coins that were listed on their website as ones they attribute and paid the $15 per coin for attribution. Not only did they not attribute them, they took the money and would not attribute them or refund the money. So i have to take pictures of them, and try to convince their blind attributor that he is wrong again. Then i have to do the same thing for 2 for pcgs, and then i have coins that need to be shot for articles, IF I can find the time.

Not discovery coins, but I've added some pics for v93 and v98.

VAM-48 will be a waste of time. It assuredly was a (later listed) VAM-48A. If the VAM-48 discovery coin ever presents itself, we could get it formally delisted. While a fully prooflike VAM-48A has not appeared, I have had a couple in an old hoard that had close to PL obverses. Not sure why we had not deleted VAM-48 from the SSDC Registry catalogue.
