The second usage of Obverse 8.  Obverse 8 is identified by date repunching that features an initial date impression to the north above the flag of the 5.  Obverse 8 has acquired additional clash marks from a clashing event with Reverse AAP.

Reverse AAP is observed with a die chip at the left half of the base of the CEN(T) and has acquired clash marks from a clashing event with Obverse 8.  Reverse AAP has developed the following die cracks:
1.  Die crack from the rim at 2:00, continuing downward through the outside edge of the wreath to the ribbon end at 5:00.
2.  Die crack from the rim at 4:00 intersects the above die crack.
3.  Die crack from the rim at 8:00 connects to the top olive leaf.
4.  Die crack from the rim at 9:00, continuing to the northeast through the wreath.

Comments:  Variety 67 represents the second usage of Obverse 8, which was previously in service paired with Reverse I during the 1905 Variety 8 Die Pairing.
