Is this 1894 Indian Head Repunched date any thing significant?

jdimmick

Tonight one of our members asked me to submit this 1894 Indian head, he purchased it thinking it was the 1894 Double die. I told him it looked like it was a re-punched date , a neat one, but thats all it was. He was a bit distrought after I informed him of that, and he wanted me to double check for sure, so I told him I would post it on the forum for opinions. Can someone provide me some info, if this is correct and if so , would there be any premium for a re-punch such as this coin. The re-punching is neat and significantly visible to the northeast of the 9 & 4. Thanks

The coin grades Good-6

got this message from a friend when I emailed your thread to him......

it sounds like the 1894/1894(ne), but I can't really tell from these scans. Does it meet the other criteria?

Look for a die scratch at 7:00 on the Obverse, should go all of the way through the U in UNITED STATES in the early die stage.

Reverse die lines under wreath and CENT. die Stage B has large crack at 10:30 later state progresses back to 9:00. stage C cud along die crack.

That's definitely the good one (FS-011). Better pictures are unnecessary. Heritage sold a PCGS G4 a year ago for $103.50 (they also sold an ANACS G4 six months earlier for $15, but we won't think about that).

I don't really believe in slabbing $100 coins, but I'm clearly in the minority.

Here's one that sold on eBay for $33 in G, with a much better picture of the repunched date if anyone cares. There are a bunch of others in eBay's completed items.

Here is one I just sold in PCGS VG8, is realized almost $90. The pics aren't working right now, but if it is problem free it could be worth the cost of an economy submission.
