Adding varieties to the list you will attribute 0

[LNCS]

I am a Liberty Nickel Variety Collector, and have noticed that you do not attribute 2 Cherry Picker varieties, the 1888 DDO FS-101 and the 1906 DDR FS-801.

Do you have plans to add these varieties to those you will attribute? I do really appreciate the other non-cherry picker varieties you do attribute, especially the two reverse types of 1901 and 1902, and submit these when I obtain them.
