Obverse 40 is identified by date placement at LH and date repunching that features an initial date impression located to the south below the base of the 1 digit.  Obverse 40 has acquired clash marks from a clashing event with Reverse AN.

Reverse AN is rotated 6 degrees clockwise.  Reverse AN has acquired clash marks from a clashing event with Obverse 40 and has cracked.

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.
