Obverse 17 is identified by date placement at C and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the north within both loops of the first 8 and to the north above the base of the 2.

Reverse P has yet to be observed with any die markers.

Comments: The Variety 14 Die Pairing was initially identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin to Rick Snow for attribution prior to submitting it for inclusion in this book. Although I have pointed out the initial date impressions that Rick identified during his attribution, I do suspect that the artifact to the right of the ball of the 2 is an additional initial date impression.
