Reverse AA Die Crack Mapping

Obverse 22 is identified by date placement at RH, class V pivot hub doubling on TY of LIBERTY and a die line below the 866 of the date.

Reverse AA has developed the following die crack:
1. Die Crack from the rim at 8:30 downward into the olive leaves.

Comments: The Obverse 22 hub doubling is quite minor and clearly visible on XF or higher graded examples.

The weakness of strike within the lower left quardrant of Obverse 22 and the corresponding weakness in the upper left quadrant of Reverse AA of the above plate coin is a result of skewd working dies and not associated with Variety 27 characteristics.
