Variety 36
Obverse 37 is observed with date placement at C.
Reverse AJ is identified by two sets of off-center clash marks that are
located from the center of the O of ONE that extend to the top of the E
of CENT and between the NE of ONE.
Comments:
The Reverse AJ off-center clash marks are the impressions of the
denticles from another working die. Prevailing opinion indicates
that a hardened working die was impressed against the Reverse AJ
working die for the purpose of determining the hardness of the Reverse
AJ working die..
