At the time of the discovery of VAM 25B in 2010, Leroy wrote in the discovery letter, "VAM 25 no longer listed as an 0/9 overdate since not enough evidence of 9 shows on 0." The revision of 2010 reflects this change. # July 10, 2008 - ANACS reports [[1880-P VAM-1E (now delisted) removed from the ANACS population and changed the listing to 1880-P VAM-25. # One doubled at bottom of lower crossbar. # Die marker, on eagle's right wing, 9th outer feather from bottom, has small rectangle with 2 dots above it.
