Comments: During its service, Variety 39 experienced dynamic die rotation of which is evidenced by clashing events occurring at varying degrees of working die rotation and the 80 degree rotation measured from the above plate coin that greatly exceeds the die rotation that was evident during the Variety 39 clashing events.

Variety 39 was first identified by Paul Nomes, who submitted the above plate coin during late June 2021 for inclusion in this book based on the die rotation of Variety 39.
