Comments: Obverse 36 is the product of multiple date impressions. One date impression was to the east and at a negligle counter clockwise rotation with respect to the final date impression. The other date impressions, which number at least two, were at the northeast and at varying degrees clockwise with respect to the final date impression.

Variety 33 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during late July 2016 for inclusion in this book based on the Obverse 36 date repunching.
