Help with the USA regular issue stamps of 2012, Four Flags.

[tomd]

I am seeing this more and more as I get into the newer United States Stamps, they reissue a design with slight differences to major ones.

This time I am asking about the 2012 Regular issue of the Four Flags, Equality, Justice, Freedom, and Liberty.

Scott numbers are being used in the listing of theses stamps.

4629 to 4632 are AVR Coil perf 8.5
4633 to 4636 are APU Coil perf 9.5
4637 to 4640 are SSP Coil perf 11.0
4641 to 4644 are APU Booklet, dark shading
4645 to 4648 are SSP Booklet, light shading
4673 to 4646 are Convertible Booklet, faint micro
4706 to 4709 are ATM Booklet

OK the coil perf's. are self explanatory as well as the dark shading, when you have two different one it does stand out..

But what is AVR, APU, SSP, and a Convertible Booklet?

The ATM I could figure out, and they are just small versions of the stamp from what I have seen in other stamps.

And what is this faint micro?

I'm working on these now too and I have some of the same questions.
I can answer the MICRO one: On the right hand side of flag, above the last red stripe, where the flag is waving (curve), there is a small USPS in black.

Now I can see them. They are getting tricker with this micro printing.

I love it

I just found this site while googling how to identify them.

My poor eyes will never forgive me on this one.

I will need my Stamp Bear Special Glasses for this.
