Obverse 72 is identified by date placement at C and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the the northwest within the lower loop of the 9, to the northwest within the 0 and to the south below the flag of the 7. Obverse 72 has developed light die flow lines.

Comments: Variety 70 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during mid May 2018 for inclusion in this book based on the Obverse 72 date repunching. David's submission included two other examples of Variety 70 that represented a subsequent later die state with the development of heavy die flow lines. Since both were in equivalent die state, I chose one to be plated below in order to capture the Variety 70a die state.
