Obverse 8 is identified by date placement at LE and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south on all elements of the 5. Obverse 8 has acquired clash marks from a clashing event with Reverse Y.

Reverse Y is rotated 16 degrees counter clockwise, has developed die cracking and has acquired clash marks from a clashing event with Obverse 8.

Comments: The Variety 9 clashing event occurred during a different working die rotation than the 16 degrees of rotation measured on the above plate coin.
