Obverse 86 is observed with date placement at RE.  Obverse 86 has developed the following die crack:
1.  Die crack from the bust point to (U)NITED.

Reverse AAAM is identified by die rust connecting the left wreath with the shield, within (O)NE, under the right arm of CEN(T), connecting (CE)NT and under the lower arrow shaft.

Comments:  Variety 89 was first identified by this author during mid November 2019.

The Reverse AAAM die rust is similar to the die rust of Reverse W from the 1863 Variety 21 Die Pairing and Reverse AAAL from the 1863 Variety 88 Die Pairing.
