Obverse 26 is identified by repunching to the southwest on the 86 and
repunching to the north on the 4, with date placement at RE.
Obverse 26 was impressed with a defective digit punch, which
appears to be repunching but is actually artifacts from the digit punch
matrix. Obverse 26 exhibits clash marks between feathers 7, 8 and
9.
Reverse
AY is rotated 15 degrees clockwise. Reverse AY has developed
clash marks above the O of ONE and to the right of the denomination.
Comments: Variety
18 was first identifed by this author during late June 2015. The
date repunching is very similar to the repunching of obverse 10 of the 1864 Bronze variety 2 die pairing, with the same defective digit punch being utilized.
