Reverse AAL Die Crack Mapping

Obverse 62 is identified by date placement at C and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south below the base of the 1, to the south within the 0 and to the north within the lower loop of the 5.

Reverse AAL is rotated 6 degrees clockwise and has developed the following die cracks:
1. Light die crack from the rim at 6:30 extends upward through the arrow quill, olive leaves and oak leaves of the left wreath.
2. Light die crack segment splits from die crack #1 at the center olive leaf and extends through the lowest outside olive leaf.

Comments: Variety 63 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during early January 2022 for inclusion in this book based on the date repunching of Obverse 62.
