Date Position |
Repunched 6 |
Obverse 39 is identified by date placement at RE and date repunching
that features initial date impressions to the west within the lower loop of the 9 and upper
loop of the 6.
Reverse AN has yet to be observed with any die markers.
Comments:
Variety 36 was first identified by Ed Nathanson, who initially
submitted his discovery piece to Rick Snow for attribution where it was
assigned the Snow 27 die pairing.
During
early April 2018, David Killough submitted a higher grade example of
Variety 36 to Rick Snow that featured a previously unidentified initial
date impression to the west within the lower loop of the 9.
David's coin was consequently used as the plate coin for Snow 27
and his images are now used here to illustrate Variety 36.
All examples of Variety 36 that I have seen thus far exhibit strike weakness on the first three feather tips
