Obverse
33 is identified by repunching to the south on the 8 and 3 and a
triangular die chip located between the TA of STATES. Obverse 33
develops a rim break directly below the 86 of the date.
Reverse
AI may be identified by a moderately sized die chip within the T of
CENT. The following die cracks are observed for Reverse AI: 1. Die crack from the denticles at 12:45 through the horizontal shield lines of the shield. 2. Die crack intersects die crack from #1 and continues downward to the middle arrowhead. 3. Die crack from the rim at 2:00 intersects die crack from #2. 4. Die crack from the rim at 3:45 intersects die crack from #2.
Comments: The
die cracks in the upper right quadrant of reverse AI are moderately
heavy with a couple small die breaks evident with the horizontal shield
lines and upper right wreath.
Obverse 33 will later be paired with reverse AJ during the variety 34 die pairing.
