Many existing varieties include scribbling scratches features on the tailfeathers in addition to their primary features (pick up points). When possible, we will attempt to show non-scribbling scratches die features to help with attribution. Some of the new scribbling scratches varieties have been eliminated as early die states of known VAMs for which the die breaks, etc. have not yet formed, and more will likely follow. # Update March 2010: This variety is the first to be found with a "Bean Bottom" S feature on the obverse, showing a tiny bean in the S of PLURIBUS. Now we have a new location to search for beans! See Bean Bottom S for more information.
