1844 RPD Hesse-Darmstadt 6 Kreuzer

Mljs

Hello Everyone,
Here’s a cool find with the first primary 4 in the date punched way too low.
If this was a US piece, there’s a pretty good chance it would be a red book variety of how strong the repunching is and how low the mintage was of just 331,000.
Thoughts?
Happy Hunting!

Not that well versed on European coins but that is a nice RPM no matter where it is from.
You don’t normally see the first punch that far off.

That's a cool RPD for sure. You're right- if that were a US coin, that would be a Red Book variety, and with that low a mintage, it would be big bucks.

We see RPDs all of the time. They're almost never that dramatic. Very cool.
