1906 Variety 7


Obverse 8	Reverse H

Obverse Diagnostics

Date Position

Misplaced Digit in the Denticles

Repunched 19 to the North

Repunched 06 to the North

Higher Grade Date Repunching of the 19

Higher Grade Date Repunching of the 06

Obverse 8 is identified by a misplaced digit in the denticles below and to the left of the primary 0 of the date and minor repunching to the north on the entire date, with date placement at RE.

Reverse H is yet to be observed with any die markers.

Comments: The obverse 8 repunching is much more evident on higher grade and/or earlier die state examples. The comparison of date repunching of obverse 8, which is shown above, well illustrates the difference in regards to the visibility of the repunching elements between a lower grade example and a higher grade and/or earlier die state example. Russell Doughty was generous in allowing me to use his images of the higher grade repunching of obverse 8.

Plate coin: Robert Malo, Jr., AU50
