DPIS - ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # The gouge the the E of STATES is only found on some 1884-CC VAM-4 examples, and fades before the 'pinned wing' gouge of 1884-CC VAM-4A occurs (This appears to be true in some cases but clearly it is not true in all cases). # Note: According to John Roberts, as of July 2012, this study is a work in progress.
