Obverse 47 is observed with date placement at RH. Obverse 47 has developed the following die cracks:
1. Light die crack from the denticles at 7:00 extends to the base of the 1.
2. Die crack from the rim at 7:00 extends upward and connects the tops of '(UNIT)ED' and exits into the rim at 8:45.

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

Comments: Variety 45 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during mid May 2020 for inclusion in this book based on the die cracking of Obverse 47.
