I noticed this RPD on an 1847 1¢. The best match I saw on NGC Variety+ was N27. I don’t have many other good resources on these. Any EAC or copper specialists might have a better idea than I do. The first two photos are my coin, the last is NGC’s N27.

    Perhaps your coin is an early die state of the variety?

    Interesting.
    I don’t have any resources for attributing the Late Date coins, of which many are very difficult to attribute given the minute die differences and larger mintages. But someone on the forum should be able to help.

    You also may want to show the whole coin for proper attribution, as there might be more than one with a repunched 1.

    Yes, N-4 seems like the leading contender. N-27 is a later use of the same obverse die. N-30 and N-43 also share an obvese die that has a repunched 1, but with a different date position. Hi-res photos of all of both sides of your coin would help seal the deal.

    Thank you, N-4 looks like the one!
