CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2749 Posts	Posted 10/12/2025 3:40 pm Looking for opinions on this large cent. Is this a re-punched date? Thoughts on grade are welcome too. Thanks!

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2749 Posts	Posted 10/12/2025 5:45 pm Thanks for the confirmation Tanman! This coin has been in my collection since I was a young collector around 1983-84. I had no idea about varieties at that time so I bought this just because I liked these large cents. Is there a rarity number for N-12? I couldn't find any examples on PCGS and I have no references for these varieties. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75712 Posts	Posted 10/12/2025 7:27 pm Nice Large Cent and RPD! As for the grade, I have it at EF details, due to the rim bumps and bruises. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 10/12/2025 8:43 pm Looks like it could be a re-punched date. I often have have difficulty distinguishing between Strike Doubling and actual doubling. I think the coin is in the VF range. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2749 Posts	Posted 10/13/2025 10:26 am Thanks for the replies! I did find N-12 listed on PCGS but one has the RPD and another doesn't. Almost like there are different N-12's? "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 10/14/2025 08:47 am Yup, as mentioned above, this is an RPD which is diagnostic for N-12, which is R-1. My grade (EAC) Fine details, net Good (Rim bumps) PCGS VF details. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2749 Posts	Posted 10/14/2025 11:30 am Thanks JTCC, that is helpful. So this is a relatively common RPD. It's confusing to me that a RPD would be a diagnostic for a punched placement rather than the other way around but I guess this shows the evolution of variety listings.
