RedRaider - that is an obscenely nice repunched '67 - guess you trumped me on that one! Like the other entries too! For anyone unfamiliar with this variation- heres a close up of the "67"

Wow!  Some really nice examples of Snow-1 1867/67! Do you cherrypick them, or do you buy them attributed? I have seen a few really worn examples unattributed--but I suspect I'll never find one in a nicer grade.

CoinHawkeye - what the sam heck is going on at 9:30 on the reverse? Bad die crack?
To DVCollector- I bought mine attributed .... was pricey but seemed reasonable as only 30% above what a regular '67 would be (mine was ~$425). I'm not a variation buff but this one is so striking I figured I'd take the bait as my other '67 was in pretty poor shape!

I bought that one attributed. If you can find one in MS unattributed, it would be like winning the lotto.
I buy many varieties unattributed, resell them for a profit, then use the profits off the sales to purchase high grade varieties that are attributed.
I've done this for the '67/67, 69/69, 91 S1, 94 S1, 97 S1. It's taken years to get the money needed to attain these varieties in mint state. Working on the 73 double liberty now. It could really take a while to do.

RedRaider--wow some great finds in there!  I have found a few, sold a few--which is why I have fewer varieties, right now.

Rick Snow just photo sealed the 67/67 I posted. I think I got a great deal on it, even though I bought in attributed. When I drove to the dealers shop to pick it up, I cherry picked an 1890 S1 in a very high grade. It is currently at PCGS being graded. It will either go AU or MS BN. If I choose to sell it, it will be big time cash to put toward the 1873 doubled liberty. Since it is a very high grade of a very scarce variety, it will be tough to sell!

To RedRaider - cheers - sounds like your doing well! The '73 doubled liberty is a great variety - never even contemplated trying to get except keeping an eye out for it. The 67/67's can still be acquired pretty cheaply considering their rarity. Its kinda laughable looking at the 69/69 vs. the 67/67 - the 67/67 appears to be rarer and is definitely much more distinct. The only reason I'd consider acquiring a 69/69 is that it is a slot in the book. Its one of 2 I need to fill ......
