1907 Variety 82


Obverse 84	Reverse AAAE

Obverse Diagnostics

Date Placement

Repunched 9

Raised Area At Bottom Within 0

Rotated View Of Raised Area Within 0

Obverse 84 is identified by date placement at B and date repunching that features an initial date impression to the east within the lower loop of the 9 and a raised area located at the bottom within the 0 that forms a V shape that could be additional initial date impressions. Obverse 84 has developed moderately heavy die flow lines.

Reverse AAAE is in a similar die state as Obverse 84, with the advancement of moderately heavy die flow lines.

Comments: Though the V shaped anomaly within the 0 did not correspond to the curvature of the 0, the artifact could possibly be the result of two separate initial date impressoins, with one located to the northeast and the other located to the northwest with respect to the final date placement of the 0. This theory may explain the V shape within the 0, rather than a curvature shaped initial date impression that would be expected from an initial date impression of the 0 to the north.

Variety 82 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during mid November 2018 for inclusion in this book based on the Obverse 84 date repunching.
