Obverse 26 is identified by repunching on the 6 to the northeast and date placement at RH.

Reverse AA is yet to be observed with any die markers.

Comments:  The repunching on the 6 of obverse 26 is similar to that of obverse 5 of the 1896 variety 1 die pairing, which exhibits repuncing on the 6 to the east.

The images I have used from Rick Snow indicate additional repunching to the east on the 18 digits.  Prior to composing this variety page, I contacted Rick in regards to the additional repunching and I will make the necessary changes to this page if the additional repunching is confirmed.
