Obv. 24 and Rev. X Clashing Orientation

Obverse 24 is identified by date placement at RH and the tops of a misplaced 9 and 0 digit impressed twice into the denticles below the primary 9 and 0 of the date.

Reverse X is rotated 4 degrees clockwise and has acquired a clash mark above the upper arrow.

Comments: Examination of Obverse 24 reveals two separate digit punch impressions into the denticles, with the impressions located to the south and north with respect to each other.

The Variety 23 clashing event occurred during a five degree rotation, which is illustrated in the above clashing orientation diagram.
