Obverse 64 is identified by date placement at LE and date repunching that features initial date impressions located to the northwest at either side of the diagonal of the 4 digit. Obverse 64 is observed with a digit punch artifact located above the left base of the 4 digit and repaired tops of 'STA(TE)S'.

Reverse AAAY has developed die cracking.

Comments: Variety 24 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during mid August 2023 for inclusion in this book based on the date repunching of Obverse 64.
