angellionel Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 10/24/2017 8:42 pm I have this Indian Head cent, worn and with environmental damage, which appears to have a repunched date. My eyes may be deceiving me so wanted to check with the members here. Thoughts? Thanks for any assistance and/or information! Report this Post to the Staff

It looks good when I check it with a loupe, but I'm not sure if it is a RPD since the coin is in poor shape. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 10/24/2017 9:31 pm I looked at Snow's guide and didn't find a match. But don't take that as gospel. Wait for a more experienced IHC collector. Report this Post to the Staff
ItchyN Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 10/25/2017 05:41 am In your first photo, it looks like a triple-punched RPD 4. In the second and third photos, it looks like Strike Doubling on the 4. In all 3 photos, the line in the 8 looks like a die line, not an RPD. Photos can be deceiving. This shows you what different lighting can do! This one would be better examined under a scope. But because I don't think that Strike Doubling would affect a single digit, based on these photos I'd provisionally call it an RPD. Report this Post to the Staff

I have tried to get a better photo, but my old camera just doesn't do as great a job on macro shots. I'll have to take it to a local dealer to have a look at it.

It is one of those coins were having it on hand to examine would be best. As ItchyN pointed out, the photos can be deceiving, especially when the details are not clear enough for a close inspection.
