Obverse 32 is identified by date placement at C, with date repunching that features initial date impressions to the north within the upper loop of the 9 and within the 0. Obverse 32 has developed rim breaks between 5:00 and 6:30 as well as heavy die flow lines and has acquired clash marks from a clashing event with Reverse AF.

Reverse AF is rotated 7 degrees clockwise and is in a similar die state as Obverse 32, with the presence of heavy die flow lines. Reverse AF has acquired clash marks through the C of CENT and to the right of the denomination from a clashing event with Obverse 32.

Comments: The Obverse 32 clash marks are obscured by the advancement of heavy die flow lines.
