1907 Repunched Date

Jack · Veteran Member

Can you help with information as to which RPD this is. I do not have a reference book on IH repunched date coins,

Thanks Jack

I'm afraid I can't help you with that one jack. Any reference material I have here does not show that one at all. It is pretty nice though, and I am sure it's referenced somewhere. I will check some other sources and see if I can come up with an answer for you.

Thanks Bob I will look forward to any thing you can find. BTW been away for several days and just want to hope the best for you as time goes and know YOU will be OK.
Thanks Jack

Thank you very much Jack. Now that I have some closure on both my Dads passing and my surgery, I am doing better. I am making significant strides every day.

Hi Jack - From the picture that you posted, it looks like RPD-004. If it is, there should be indications of doubling under the 1 and the 9, however, I believe that die condition will play a factor in seeing this doubling for it is very light under those two digits.

The information was found in "Tresure Hunting in the Flying Eagle and Indian Cent Series" by Kevin Flynn. One of the interesting things that the author states for this year is "1907 is probably the most abundant year for Indian cent repunched dates, a book could be written on this alone"

Hope this helps Very Happy

I agree with BJ. It does seem to be RPD-004. I just got back from a local dealer's shop where I found the same info, from the same book that BJ mentioned.

BJ and Bob
The pick up on the nine is real good on this coin and I do not not see any thing at the bottom of the one. I do see something at the top of the one. Cant get a picture of what I see at the top of the one.
Jack

Thanks for the information!!!

Hi Jack - The doubling on the 9 falls right in with what shoulld be on RPD-004. Just a suggestion; if you have any rose bushes, pick off a thorn and try to knockoff some of the dirt under the base of the 1 in the date (I use a pair of hymostats to hold the torn in place and when working with a microscope, it is a lot easier than using you fingers to hold the thorn). There might be doubling there.

Nice find and hopefully you will uncover more.

It's a very good point about the thorn BJ. I believe Coop has mentioned that tip on the forum as well. I use them often when there is an accumulation of crud on the coin. The only difference is that I hot glue the thorns to the tip of a tooth pick. It is easier to use than the hemostats. I have different size thorns on colored toothpicks to denote which is the larger thorns, and which are the smaller ones for more intricate work. Make sure the thorns are relatively green also. If they get too old and dry out, they will scratch your coins.

When I got my 2004 DDO nickel slabbed by ANACS, it came back with goo inside the slab that was discoloring the coin. I cracked the coin off the slab, removed the goo from the coin wiht a toothpick and re submitted the coin. I got the coin back in the same grade it had first been slabbed in.

I think a toothpick should do it. I dont think a toothpick would harm the surface of the coin if it is used correctly.

Most of the time the tooth pick is too thick. But a tooth pick might scratch a proof coin. I wouldn't chance that on a proof. A circulated cent I use an old worn out toothpick and mineral oil and scrub it down using several directions. That usually works best, but occasionally the next step had to be taken.

sorry I was so late responding on this one. I have the Indian Cent attribution Guide Volume 6 by Rick Snow and it is the Snow 4 as indicated. 1907 was a big year for die varieties with 48 Snow numbers that year. The reverse on that coin should show "Shield points connected to the denticles" and "Olive leaf away from the denticles."

Jack · Veteran Member

Garry Thanks for looking that up in your Snow reference. If you have time would you see if the One in the date in "Snow" has a Punch to the north that shows. The coin I have does show an image along the top and at the top of the base. This coin does have the reverse markers you stated.
Thanks Jack

I will check the reference tonight, Jack. I seem to recall there is some doubling of the 1 also.

I would agree this is the Snow-4. It appears to match the 1/1 (n) in my guide.
