2. Moderately severe die crack from the rim at 8:30 extends upward through the left wreath and exits into the rim at 10:30.
3. Die crack from the olive leaves extends upward through (C)ENT and continues into the right side of the left wreath at 9:00.

Comments: Variety 106 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during mid August 2023 for inclusion in this book based on the die cracking of Reverse AAAAD.
