Obverse 37 is identified by date placement at B, date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south of the bases of the 1 and 9 digits and a possible misplaced digit located among the denticles below and to the left of the 0 of the date. Obverse 37 has acquired clash marks.

Reverse AK is rotated 4 degrees counter clockwise and has acquired clash marks.

Comments: The Obverse 37 artifact among the denticles below the 0 of the date may possibly be a misplaced digit, though I cannot definitively confirm this.

The 4 degrees die rotation of Variety 36 is a static rotational attribute of this die pairing and was evident during the clashing event between Obverse 37 and Reverse AK.

Variety 36 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during early December 2022 for inclusion in this book based on the Obverse 37 date repunching and possible misplaced digit among the denticles.
