Obverse 57 is identified by date placement at LE and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south within the upper loop and to the east from the outside bottom right of the 9; to the north above the top left half, to the east from the outside right and to the south at the base of the 7.

Reverse AAE has developed the following die crack:
1. Light die crack from the denticles at 5:00 through the ribbon end and lower and middle arrowheads.
Rev. AAE.2: The die crack from 5:00 has now become more severe.

Comments: The initial date impression within the upper loop of the 9 and the ones to the north and east around the 7 were first identified by this author while writing the Variety 55 page during early July 2018.
