Newfoundland 1940 1c. coin - How can you tell the re-engraved date from the normal ?

What do I need to look for in the 1940 Newfoundland 1c. to tell the difference between the re-engraved date & the normal date? I know the re-engraved date coin is far scarcer & that the price reflects that.

I could find no mention of a repunched die for the 1940 Newfoundland Cent. The "C" mintmark was ommited in error on the 1940 and 1942 1 Cent coins.

 

Bohica,the re-engraved date Newfoundland 1940 1c. coin variety is listed separately in Krause.

 

i would be interested to know the answer to this too if anyone here knows

 

newfoundland 1940

hi im unsure how to tell but i will look it up the 1940 and 1941 have re-engraved variations

 

1940-1941 re-engrav ed

Some examples of the 1940 NFLD one cent coins show a very distinct doubling of the date as if there were a high date over a low date. The most distinct doubling is on the 4, but all all four digits show some degree of doubling. This type is known as the re-engraved . big diff in value then standard cents, i collect newfoundland as my main choice of coin

 

Interesting info!

Hey, it's all good...

Since I'm from the Rock too, I'm interested in the answer as well.

 

i responded because

seeing the question was on the bottom of newest questions..

 

Here is the reverse of a 1940RE with some of the re-engraving noted:

 

I know this thread is old but I have a few from my collection that are quite nice.

 

Great pics! They really show the re-engraving perfectly! Good job!:thumb:
