Obverse 26 is identified by date placement at LE and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south below and to the right of the base of the 1.  Obverse 26 has developed moderately heavy to heavy die flow lines.

Reverse Y is rotated 6 degrees clockwise and is in a similar die state as Obverse 26, with the advancement of moderately heavy to heavy die flow lines.  Reverse Y has acquired two sets of clash marks through (C)ENT.

Comments:  During mid January 2019, David Killough submitted the above coin in order to fulfill a request of a known die pairing for the sake of publication in this book.  Upon examination of David's submission, I discovered that the coin was struck from a previously unidentified die pairing.  Obverse 26 of this die pairing received two separate initial date impressions, with one impression to the south below the base of the 1 and the second located to the east of the right side of the base of the 1.
