1894/1894 Repunched Date One Cent MS RD FS-301, S-1
Details
The 1894/1894 doubled date is a popular variety in the Indian Cent Series. Minor doubling is seen on the one with small spots east of the eight; but, the most obvious component of this variety appears on the nine (clear second nine at the top right of the nine) and four (clearly struck second point above the four). Tough to locate in all grades with Mint State pieces being scarce and gems being extremely 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.
