It would be neat if the date on that PO 1 could be identified based on VAM characteristics.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

After a long pause, there are some additions that I did not show previously. We have a Gen 5 VG 10 (a solid circulated coin with no major distractions) and a Gen 6 VG 8 (which has some cuts/marks that were not "smoothed out" from circulation plus a small divot on the reverse).
And a group photo of where the circulated set stands. It has been quite the challenge to find some of these and the search continues for the missing examples.
The uncirculated set was easier than the circulated (which I figured to be the case) but it still had challenges. The MS 66 (which has not been mentioned before in this thread) is another exception to the "O" rule, being from San Francisco. And there is no MS 67 (reaffirming my comment at the start that the grade would be a stretch to acquire).

I don’t think there’s any identifying characteristics.

Given the difficulty of finding some of these, there was an exception made to the "O" mint rule to include this Gen 4 VF 25 example from Philly.

This was mentioned in its own thread and I will add it here too.
