Beveled field above OF."

1921 P New VAM 3Y2 "Has die breaks at wing tip & ES listed & pictured in 2004 VAM Supplement as 3Y. Actually, should have been 3Y2 since is later die state of scribbles at leg.

1924 P VAM 1k1 & 1K2 "Added to 1K1 obverse listing after GOD---and later N of IN , added to 1K2 obverse listing-- on later die state. Will be in 2020 VAM Peace $ Supplement.
Vertical gouges at IN GOD due to feed finger scraping obverse die repeatedly, which continues to strengthen or add gouges there. Can't list every change in gouges which are usually ongoing."

Page updates completed thanks to pacificwr
Supplemental photos added to 1923 D VAM 1B2 Revision in order to show die break progression left of ONE where new rim die breaks connect to field break in retained cud VLDS.

Roger, congrats on your new DC's and revisions. The VAM-8B, 3Y2 and 1B2 are something else.

Congrats! On a side note, Dennis now has more holes to fill...

Well done, I just went through my 21 P VAMs today and had a 3Y among them. I added the 2 to the holder.... thanks

Good Job!

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 1B3 retained cud designation on this specimen.

Any comments welcome.

THANKS everyone for your comments. Especially thankful for technical support from Wayne! Glad to contribute some new die stages.

This submission shared several similar PUPs that are worth noting:

A beveled field above OF shows on 1921 P VAM 8B EDS (Revised) VAM 68B LDS VAM 1AR2 VAM 3Y2 LDS
Die crack from nose to star with displaced field breaks 1921 P VAM 8B EDS (Revised) VAM 68B LDS

1921 P VAM 3AN2 (Revision) with large displaced field break from cap to UR is preceded by my two 1921 P DCs VAM 3DJ2 and 3DV2 which also display large displaced field breaks from cap to UR
