Repunched Second 8 |
Obverse 48 is identified by date placement at LE and date repunching
that features initial date impressions to the south within the lower
loop of the first 8 and to the south within both loops of the second 8.
Reverse AU has yet to be observed with any die markers.
Comments:
Although it appears as though the 9 digit features an initial date
impression to the north within the upper loop, close examination
reveals no date repunching. The perceived initial date impression
at the bottom within the upper loop of the 9 is a product of depth of
impression from the digit punch.
Variety
47 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above
plate coin during mid May 2018 for inclusion in this book based on the
Obverse 48 date repunching.
