Obverse 36 is identified by date placement at RH with date repunching
that features initial date impressions to the southeast within the
lower loop of the 9 and to the north within the 0. Obverse 36
has developed moderately heavy to heavy die flow lines. Obverse 36 develops the following die crack: 1. Die crack from the denticles at 11:00 downward through STAT of STATES and TED of UNITED.
Reverse AJ is in a similar die state as Obverse 36, with the
advancement of moderately heavy to heavy die flow lines.
Comments: The
initial date impressions within the lower loop of the 9 are most likely
from the ball and outer bottom edge of the upper loop of the 9
positioned southeast with respect to the final date impression.
This position of the initial date impressions is a result of
the digit punch being both shifted to the southeast as well as rotated
counter clockwsise with respect to the final date impression.
Variety 34 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the
abvoe plate coin for inclusion in this book based on the date
repunching of Obverse 36.
