Obverse 39 is identified by date placement at RE and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south within the lower loop of the 9 and within the 0.

Reverse AM is identified by a localized area of die rust that is located below the left side of the shield and within the upper left wreath.

Comments: Obverse 39 received four initial date impressions before the final date impression. The first initial date impression was positioned slightly to the southwest with respect to the final date placement, with the initial date impression to be found within the 0. The second initial date impression was positioned far to the southwest with respect to the final date placement, with the initial date impression to be found just below the upper loop of the 9. The third and fourth initial date impressions were positioned far to the southeast with respect to the final date placement, with the initial date impressions to be found at the center and lower section of the lower loop of the 9.
