Start of rim cuds on obv. mentioned in VAM 23. But same dies as VAM 12, so made new 12A for breaks. We don’t list rim cuds unless go into field, but sometimes mention to help identify die. # PCGS 4477 - New VAM 12A. Slightly later rim cuds growth. Crack at O about same. We don’t list different changes in same die breaks, chips or displaced field breaks. Only list new die breaks. # ANACS 3079 - New VAM 12A. Die crack above LA in Dollar has tiny die chips to small to list & don’t see displaced fielded visible to naked eye. Rim cuds on obv. fully formed but don’t go into field.
