Obverse 34 is observed with date placement at LH.

Reverse AH is rotated 8 degrees clockwise and has developed a small die break located at the bottom right of ON(E). Reverse AH has acquired clash marks through (C)ENT and to the right of CEN(T).

Comments: The Reverse AH die break is similar to that of Reverse AC from the 1903 Variety 29 Die Pairing, though the Reverse AC die break is located at the bottom right of CE(N)T.

The 8 degrees die rotation is a static rotational attribute of this die pairing and was present during the clashing event of Variety 33.

Variety 33 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during early January 2022 for inclusion in this book based on the die break of Reverse AH.
