My Snow binders are in a box somewhere still, apparently..  Cherrypickers lists one repunched date (on both 1's), are there any others for this date in Snow? Thanks!

There are 4 varieties of the 1901 IHC with both 1's repunched (S4,S10,S11,S19). Most are pretty minor.

How did I miss this one?  I scan the forums too quickly.  There are 4 that involve both 1's--and possibly more.

Sorry, missed your reply, DV. Here are some pictures. Clipped the top of the obverse - oops!

That's a nice, big picture of the date area!  Perhaps it's just the lighting angle, but I can't see an RPD?  Is it in the bases of the two "1s"? A lot of RPDs show up as faint secondary lines--that are hard to photograph.

There was something on the last 1, and I thought the 9 and 0 also looked slightly fatter than normal. But after looking at a gazillion other 1901's it seemed like it was normal, or close enough to not matter. I had just been trying to find out if there was something specific I should be looking for. At the rate I'm going, I'll find my Snow binders *after* I sell all my cents..

Quote: There was something on the last 1, and I thought the 9 and 0 also looked slightly fatter than normal. I think that may be due to die wear. For some reason, the digits tend to wear differently than the legends, etc. For 1900 onward, I've found the most RPDs looking inside the digits. That's where the underlying digit gets pushed in and it doesn't get polished away after the final impression. If you have say, 20 IHCs from 1901-08, mostly likely you have an RPD somewhere.
