Close-up Of Repunched Last 8

Obverse 54 is identified by date placement at RH and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south below the base of the 1 and to the northwest above the last 8. Obverse 54 has developed moderately heavy die flow lines.

Reverse AAC is in a similar die state as Obverse 54, with the advancement of moderately heavy die flow lines.

Comments: During late July 2018, David Killough submitted the above plate coin in which he identified an additional date impression above the last 8 that was previously unidentified during the Snow 37 attribution.
