Reverse AQ Die Crack Mapping


Obverse 42 is observed with date placement at RE.  Obverse 42 exhibits an advanced die state, which is noticeable by the field area by the denticles, and has developed die cracking.

Reverse AQ similarly exhibits an advanced die state, which appears to be more advanced compared to Obverse 42, and has developed die cracking.

Comments:  Variety 37 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during early July 2022 for inclusion in this book based on the die cracking of Variety 37.
