Question about VAMworld

Do they list all known VAMs (in particular for the 1900-O)? I ask because I have one which doesn't appear to be listed. There is a crack through the date but it goes up to Liberty's neck and not down to the rim like 29A and 35, and there is a die crack through most of the letters on the reverse with one going up to the rim between the "A" and "T" in "STATES." Here are pics:

    Where are the Vammers when you need them?

    Perhaps, what ur looking for was revised???

    I'll wait for the expert VAMMERS to chime in...

    There are two others with, on the surface, very similar date cracks to the 29A and both are exceedingly common and readily available in high grades. It is almost a rite of passage for a VAM collector to think he is getting the cherrypick of a lifetime, an apparently obvious 29A in PCGS 64 or similar. I know a few of us who have been there. If I get a chance one of these days, I'll edit the VAM-29A page at vamworld to show the other two that are confused with it. You have one of them. The other has a diagonal crack coming doing above and toward the date from the right.
