Killed:
1921-P VAM 3AH. I sent him a coin that has the same scribbles as the 3A1-2-3-4 "tail gouge" series, but it doesn't have a tail gouge.
New Discoveries:
-- 1921-P VAM 3A1a (the EDS version of the 3A1-2-3-4 series that doesn't have a tail gouge.) LVA said he didn't want to call it 3A0 (zero), because of the confusion the 0 creates, so he's broken 3A1 into 3A1a and 3A1b.
-- 1921-P VAM 1BP. No scribbles, but does have a distinctive horizontal "segmented die scratch" across the upper tail feathers next to the eagle's inner left leg.
-- 1892-S VAM 1A. (There's a separate older thread on the boards that contains several photos.) The most distinctive feature is the broken right star on the reverse.
Revisions:
-- 1921-P VAM 1B1-2-3. It looks from his letter that there is now a 1B3. He gives a revised listing for 1B2, but describes 1B3 without saying it's new or revised. I sent him a 1B1 that has everything except reverse die polishing that is the hallmark of that VAM.
-- 1921-P VAM 1AC1 and 1AC2. I sent him a coin that has everything for 1AC1 or 1AC2, except it has no reverse die polishing... so he revised them both.
-- 1921-P VAM 3A1. As previously mentioned, the old 3A1 attribution (tail gouge) has been split into 3A1a (no tail gouge) and 3A1b (with tail gouge).
