Obverse 35 is identified by date placement at C and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south below the serif and base of the 1. Obverse 35 is observed with a defect top / broken base 3 digit with a vertical digit punch artifact within the lower loop.

Reverse AI has yet to be observed with any die markers.

Comments: Variety 30 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during mid May 2021 for inclusion in this book based on the Obverse 35 date repunching and defect top / broken base 3 digit.
