Let's see your Repunched Dates!

Hey folks,

Was just taking some pics to send to a friend and figured why not share with y'all. Repunched dates on Two Cent Pieces in this case. First an 1865 then two different 1871s.

wow nice find!!!

 

what's the date & denomination?

I took this picture so up-close, I think it creates a good trivia question. Do you know the date & denomination of this cameo proof? (No you don't get the coin if you guess it).

Very best regards,

I say 1885 V nickel

 

Not an 1885 but it is a Liberty Nickel

Very good guess. It is not an 1885 but it is a Liberty Nickel.

I would guess its an 1884 nickle.

 

1960 Colombia 1 Centavos RPD with Severe Die Clashes, Die Breaks & Die Breaks!

Hey C.T. Folks,

Here are a couple of pictures of just the Date of my' 1960 Colombia 1 Centavos with a strongly shifted Repunched Date! I am sorry but I did not included any pictures of all of the other problems that this coin has since they are hard to capture in pictures. However, the coin has Strong Die Clashing all over the Obverse and Reverse and Strong Die Breaks and Die Cracks on the Reverse.
Click on both pictures to zoom in...especially on the botom picture which has arrows pointing to portions of the first Date punching.

Enjoy!

That is just horribly amazing!

Looks like a 5 year old's writing.

 

Yeah it's bad! It is apparent that a Mint worker attempted to clean up the Die somewhat as quite a bit of the evidence of the first(?) "6" has been ground away. From the apparent positioning of the first(?) "1", "9" and "6" in the Date compared to the far offset positioning of what may or not be the first "0", I somewhat believe that it may have been triple punched. The "0" is just too far to the Southeast compared to the other digit's positions!

Yes, it is a 1884 proof nickel.

Hey C.T. Folks,

I thought you might enjoy some close-ups of the Date digits on the 1960 Colombia One Centavos! I used a Radio Shack 20-60x Mini-Microscope to aid in taking these pictures. As you can see, there is little to see on the "1" but there is a nice shift on the "9" and "6" with a significant shift on the "0" in the Date. There is no triple punching evident, so i have surmised that the Colombians use single digit Date Punches.

It's an 1884 proof. There is a similar repunched date fro the bsiness strike as well. Nice coin.
