Obverse 35 has developed light to moderately heavy die flow lines and has acquired clash marks in between the feathers and in front of the eye from a clashing event with Reverse AI.

Comments: Variety 30 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during mid February 2017 for inclusion in this book based on the date repunching of Obverse 35. David subsequently submitted the above plate coin to Rick Snow, who assigned the Snow 27 die pairing number and used David's coin as the plate coin for that variety.
