Comments: Variety 39 was
first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin
during late June 2024 for inclusion in this book based on the date
repunching of Obverse 40.
The 6 degrees of rotation measured
from the Variety 39 Die Pairing represent a rotational attribute of
this die pairing and was present during the clashing event between
Obverse 40 and Reverse AN.
