Obverse 27 is identified by date placement at RH and date repunching
that features initial date impressions to the north within the lower
loops of the 8, 9 and 5 digits of the date.
Reverse Z has yet to be observed with any die markers.
Comments: Prior to
publication in this book, Obverse 27 was identified with an initial
date impression within the lower loop of the 5 only. During early
August 2019, Rick Snow offered the above coin for sale with the
identification of initial date impression artifacts within the lower
loops of the 8 and 9. Evidently, the initial date impressions
within the lower loops of the 8 and 9 were missed during the initial
attribution of this die pairing.
