Obverse 62 is identified by date placement at RE, a raised artifact within the lower loop of the 9 digit and a die line that extends from the denticles at 10:45, through 'STAT(ES)' and into the first feather.  Obverse 62 has acquired clash marks from a clashing event with Reverse AAJ and has developed a die crack from the lower right side of the second 8 digit.

Reverse AAJ is observed with artifacts among the vertical shield bars.  Reverse AAJ has acquired clash marks from a clashing event with Obverse 62.

Comments:  Variety 57 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during late June 2024 for inclusion in this book based on the Obverse 62 artifact located within the lower loop of the 9 digit.
