Obverse 37 is observed with date placement at B.

Reverse AO has developed a cud between 8:45 and 9:45.  The following die cracks have been observed for reverse AO:
1.  Die crack from the rim at 7:45 to the middle olive leaf.
2.  Two die cracks from the denticles at 11:30, one enters the top of the left wreath to the cud and the other enters the top right of the shield.

Comments:  Variety 39 was first seen by this author during late June 2015.  The cud of reverse AO is peculiar in shape, as it has the appearance of tentacles reaching into the left wreath.

Plate Coin:  D. Poliquin Collection, VG8
