Repunched 18 to the North |
Obverse 27 is identified by repunching to the north on the 18, with date placement at LH.
Reverse AB is yet to be observed with any die markers.
Comments: Variety 27 was
first identified by Ed Nathanson, who submitted the above plate coin
during late October 2016 for inclusion in this book based on the date
repunching of obverse 27. Upon examination of the coin, the
repunching elements of obverse 27 seem to be identical to Snow's
obverse 20 from the Snow 16 die pairing. After comparing the date
placement and depth impression of the date from the Snow 16 die pairing
and obverse 27 above, there are differences that would differentate the
two obverses and confirm they originated from different working dies.
