  The last "A" in AMERICA caught my eye. Filled at top of "A" and something about the right stand looks odd.

  My amateur guess: O-108a.

  Interested to hear from the experts.

  Successful BST transactions with forum members thebigeng, SPalladino, Zoidmeister, coin22lover, coinsarefun, jwitten, CommemKing.

  Yep ... O.108a

  It's the only die marriage with a die state known where only the A3 (last A in AMERICA) is filled at the top. And, of course, all the other diagnostics line up with the O.108/O.108a die marriage.

  Well done!

  Kind of like watching Jeopardy for me... you guys buzz in before me even if I know the answer. Most of the time I just watch. You guys are quite amazing on this stuff!

  LOL ... the outcome of a misspent middle age.

  Edited to add ... there are some Bust half nuts on this board who have forgotten more than I will be able to learn.
