Obverse 57 is identified by date placement at LE and die lines in front of and below the ear of Miss Liberty.

Reverse AAE is identified by die rust located above the base of C(E)NT, on either side of the upper column of CEN(T), above the upper arrowhead, above the lower arrowhead, below the lower arrow shaft, between the right ribbon end and wreath stem, on the two olive leaves left of the ribbon bow and a small, localized area located at the upper section of both the left and right wreath.

Comments: Variety 55 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during early January 2022 for inclusion in this book based on the Obverse 57 die lines and the Reverse AAE die rust.
