1869/69 Repunched Date One Cent MS RD FS-303, S-4
Details
The 1869/69 repunched date is a popular variety in the Indian Cent Series. Minor doubling is seen on the six; but, the most obvious component of this variety comes at the top of the nine and is very clear. Tough to locate in all grades with Mint State pieces being scarce and gems being rare. The value increases at a very gradual pace as the color designation goes from brown to red.
Obverse: A portrait bearing the likeness of a Native American in full headdress framed by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait.
Reverse: The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center.
